...prospect of going to a new school and having to make new friends. Our parents, just as predictably, assured us that it would turn out to be no big deal. Now the roles are reversed, in a way. My father, who's 76, is wrestling with a decision about whether to move from the house in which he lived with my mother while she was alive into a continuing-care retirement community.

As I imagine it, the Mondalian vision appears before them early in the morning before they're fully awake. Gradually it dawns on them that there is something familiar about the rush to pile up a commanding lead in money and endorsements for the party's putative presidential candidate--an experienced and worthy and charisma-free Vice President who has paid his dues--so that he can tie up the nomination and get on with the business...
