Traveling with Dad always brings surprises. At 3 a.m., the motel room suddenly lights up like high noon. I shoot up, bleary-eyed, and there he is—wide awake, smiling, and asking, “Oh, are you up?” as if we’ve both just had a full night’s rest. I mumble something about it still being the middle of the night, but by 4 a.m., he’s at it again—lamps blazing, ready to start the day. It’s equal parts exhausting and endearing. You’ve got to laugh, because sometimes that’s the only way to stay awake and sane.

Dad (91 y.o.) was cussing in frustration about his recent inability to post photos from his phone to Facebook, so I offered to help troubleshoot. He said it all started when his phone's OS updated. It took about 10 minutes of trial and error before I noticed he had *separate accounts* open: one on his phone and one on his computer. He had no idea he had two accounts.
