...Jersey was declined by gubernatorial winners Robert McDonnell and Chris Christie, and her avowed congressional candidate, Doug Hoffman, lost in a previously unlosable Republican district. It is, after all, hard to support a person who doesn't know if Africa is a continent or a country. More good news like this, and I might rejoin the party I abandoned...
...seems like a great choice, but I've seen my mom around other kids, and I have no doubt that Laszlo would eat nothing but ice cream. She and her husband are warm and adventurous, but they were both therapists, so Laszlo would have to pretend to care about all kinds of pointless conversations that end in tears and, I'm sure, more ice cream. Also, they plan to spend half the year at their place in Florida, which would be fine if they balanced that with the rest of the year at the World Economic Forum...
...Tricia just had a son exactly Laszlo's age, but they also live in a tiny, rural town. And they're vegan. While there's nothing wrong with being vegan, it means they don't eat meat.

That's when we thought about my college friend Ben Wu and his wife Kristin. They have a great house in a really nice town near San Francisco that's not all that different from the one we live in. They're good parents to two kids we really like. They share our thoughts and values about religion, education, discipline, family, home, competition, money and not taking things too seriously, and I know they'd love Laszlo as their own child once he was in their home. Besides, Ben was going to have to teach him how to play sports...
...suggest you do it through a humor column in the back of a magazine. But we chose demographics over love. The Wus went to similar colleges, had similar jobs and do similar things with their time. Despite genetics and the 18 years we spent together, our family is less like us than the people we choose to associate with. Which means, sadly, that one day Laszlo will be fundamentally more in tune with his slacker L.A. punk-rock-bandmate friends than with his parents. Unless, of course, the Wus get him first...
