Give up my alternative-lifestyle habits/sensibilities and "settle down" to a steady, unfulfilling job, or maybe a corporate career, with wife-and-kid and a car I know how to fix. One that takes regular unleaded. Try to have weekly "family game night" but give up when I realize my child is as ambitious and individualistic as I was when I was their age. Go to church and watch "the game" on Sunday afternoons. Visit the in-laws twice a month. Go cut down a Christmas tree & decorate it with family heirloom decorations passed down to us. 1 Christmas present each to open on Christmas Eve. I got a new tie. She got lingerie for tonight. The kid got their favorite author's newest New York Times Bestseller.
The missus and I are a bit tipsy from rum & eggnogs.
