The Bear. Cheap Trick. “I want you to want me.” I have it turned up. Loud. Right? ‘Cause it’s Cheap Trick and a great sing-along-80s-car song even if I have a cold!

Levi says, “I don’t like it!”

I listen anyway.

The song is over, a new 80s song rolls in.

Levi says, “I don’t like it!”

So, I turn the station to 98.7 (one of a few new Country stations in PDX). He says, “I like this!”

My son loves country. My son hates 80s music. My son loves “Disco Duck.” My son hates 80s music.

What a sad day.

As I sit on the plane, surrounded by the hum of the engine and the chill of the window, I can’t help but notice the person in front of me repeatedly adjusting their seat, each movement a grating assault on my laptop screen. The journey back to Portland, high above the clouds, prompts reflections on the comforts of home and the complexities of travel.
