My folks travel a lot. Not Up in the Air a lot. But they spend about a month each year in Taiwan and China. Though I see and talk to them too much stateside, we only stay in touch sparingly when they're abroad. Last year, they were gone for five weeks and did not call home once. They seem to have no curiosity regarding my well being. And would make the worst teenagers. But I don't really mind because when we do talk, we invariably touch upon all the food that they're eating that I'm not. Yesterday, Father spent our Skype conversation recounting the buffet that they went to, with quality Chinese, Japanese, and "Western style" delicacies (lamb chops, roast beef, grilled pork), plus chocolate fondue. Chocolate fondue! All for $10 because there was a promotion. And suddenly, catching up with him made me incredibly sad. He did manage to remember to ask if I was eating well, but it sounded gloaty and hollow.
