最後一支玫瑰
飯桌上，大寶問我下周一晚是否有時間看他球隊的比賽，是高中畢業生的最後一場主場球賽，結束後是校足球隊感謝和祝福畢業生隊友的seniornight。我說好的，會帶上小寶一起。遺憾的是妻子無法從她工作的小城趕回來。大寶說謝謝，他會請球隊準備兩支玫瑰。原來傳統是每個畢業生送玫瑰給支持他的家人朋友。想起電視上看到過大學橄欖球的seniorday，健[閱讀全文]

往事如煙
一直在低頭爬坡，為了學位，工作，身份，家庭，不曾側目曲徑兩旁的風景。幸有賢妻相伴。當然，妻子不同，她爬的是山。暫停下來喘口氣，回頭望望，尋找寫著故事的腳印。自然，不會講給兒子聽。我是在父親勵誌加恐嚇的故事中長大的，親身經曆過聽者的痛苦。父親苦出身，一路爬山，成家立業，煙酒不沾，自己和他人的勵誌事跡信手拈來。可惜效果甚微[閱讀全文]

那時他喜歡感悟文字，但厭惡記憶文字，對學文科考取大學沒有信心。所以高中二年級文理科分班，父母說理科未來升學和就業麵廣，也就順從了。當時大多父母都這樣計劃著孩子的未來。他的年級，八個班，隻成立了一個文科班。她的班被打散改成文科班收留文藝青年，她就這樣流落到他的班上。想來是很荒謬，讓十六七歲的少年在父母的指導下決定自己的職業範圍。荒謬[閱讀全文]

秋日裏，孩子上學，通常不遠遊的。今年情況變了，大寶開始大學，小寶還在小學3年級，不上也罷，校方又沒有minimalattendancerequirement，所以數月前選好十月初在柏林的會議。短短6天，倒時差還是件很痛苦的事。
這隻是第二次去歐洲，聊點印象。因為耳聞歐洲的難民危機和恐怖襲擊，又逢美國大選的好戲，不由自主，印象都和這些事連上了。結尾的插曲不是很明顯，猜猜[閱讀全文]
