“Bart’s, pulling my plaid shirt out of my pants at the same time. It was going to look bad coming to my son’s recital dressed like a wino, but I figured it was better than looking like I just pissed myself.

In the middle are these long rows of pews, and from my distorted and half-crazed perspective it looked li...ke the pews went on forever. Up front, where the priest did his hocus-pocus, they had cleared things away, and there was a band of students and some older guys, one of whom, Joe, was Ace’s music teacher in school.
