最后一支玫瑰
饭桌上，大宝问我下周一晚是否有时间看他球队的比赛，是高中毕业生的最后一场主场球赛，结束后是校足球队感谢和祝福毕业生队友的seniornight。我说好的，会带上小宝一起。遗憾的是妻子无法从她工作的小城赶回来。大宝说谢谢，他会请球队准备两支玫瑰。原来传统是每个毕业生送玫瑰给支持他的家人朋友。想起电视上看到过大学橄榄球的seniorday，健[阅读全文]

往事如烟
一直在低头爬坡，为了学位，工作，身份，家庭，不曾侧目曲径两旁的风景。幸有贤妻相伴。当然，妻子不同，她爬的是山。暂停下来喘口气，回头望望，寻找写着故事的脚印。自然，不会讲给儿子听。我是在父亲励志加恐吓的故事中长大的，亲身经历过听者的痛苦。父亲苦出身，一路爬山，成家立业，烟酒不沾，自己和他人的励志事迹信手拈来。可惜效果甚微[阅读全文]

那时他喜欢感悟文字，但厌恶记忆文字，对学文科考取大学没有信心。所以高中二年级文理科分班，父母说理科未来升学和就业面广，也就顺从了。当时大多父母都这样计划着孩子的未来。他的年级，八个班，只成立了一个文科班。她的班被打散改成文科班收留文艺青年，她就这样流落到他的班上。想来是很荒谬，让十六七岁的少年在父母的指导下决定自己的职业范围。荒谬[阅读全文]

秋日里，孩子上学，通常不远游的。今年情况变了，大宝开始大学，小宝还在小学3年级，不上也罢，校方又没有minimalattendancerequirement，所以数月前选好十月初在柏林的会议。短短6天，倒时差还是件很痛苦的事。
这只是第二次去欧洲，聊点印象。因为耳闻欧洲的难民危机和恐怖袭击，又逢美国大选的好戏，不由自主，印象都和这些事连上了。结尾的插曲不是很明显，猜猜[阅读全文]
