Progressive Manners
While scanning the New York Times, Ben Sixsmith notes the odd parental priorities of author and journalist Jancee Dunn:
The article in question, titled My Marriage Has A Third Wheel: Our Child – and which helpfully includes a photo of the couple’s apparently problematic nine-year-old – can be found here. In it, we learn that the author “would never have dreamed of sharing anything remotely personal with my parents,” but “wanted a different kind of relationship with our daughter.” And hence happily directing a media spotlight onto said youngster while waiting for applause.
Jancee Dunn is the author of How Not To Hate Your Husband After Kids, her account of an attempt to “salvage” a “faltering marriage.”
And yes, the family does live in Brooklyn. And no, they don’t share a surname. And yes, the adults have availed themselves of professional counselling services.

I’ll review the bidding for you Hal, . . .
Oh, good, delighted to have you join us . . . . . an’ . . . Oh, well we’ll prolly still be here if you ever actually do such reviewing and if you ever catch up.
A wee hint:
Once you do actually read the documentation and citations—where we can tell that you just didn’t bother and hoped we didn’t notice—you will easily be reminded of the differences between the functioning adults—such as that one you cite with graphics—and the lowest classes . . . . .
As I have said, get a new shtick, you don’t have to do the same thing every damn time.
It’s not so much the “same thing every damn time” per se as it is the pompous and incoherent logorrhea. If you want to be understood, Hal, you should learn to express yourself better. But if you merely want to be an asshole you don’t have to change a thing.
Where the Susquehanna Hat Company is located? Why I believe in Niagara Falls.
Beau Chapeau in Niagara-on-the-Lake is the real thing. They did a frankly supernatural job repairing a badly damaged 30-year old fedora with immense sentimental value.
