In-laws

Much of Aliza's extended family has descended on Boston over the past few days to see us and meet the baby. I really enjoy their company, and it's really great to see all of them.

I'm also a little eager for the crowds to thin out so we can start figuring out what our new normal is, but it can wait for now.


(I also want to figure out if/how I can sneak out to see Tron at some point.)

Well, the more hordes, the less likely you're needed. DIdn't you know you're optional? Everyone wants to see the baby, and maybe even Aliza... but you- your part in all of this is done :P

So find a few of the family members that want out, and... entertain them by taking them to Tron :)

This.

A certain SF writer (Nancy Kress?) once described a certain category of short-story plot as “two problems solving each other”.
