Your writing is always good. Characterization and content might bring out my judgmental side, but this is a much warmer, well presented character study. Dad's faults and vices are what make him endearing. Interesting.
Thanks! I *thought* this one might go over a bit better with people than the Lois one did, if only because of how hardened Lois is (at the time of her piece) and the fact that she and Sam haven't yet made amends.
It's pretty hard to cast Perry in a bad light too.
