We were making our second slow pass as a family through the drive-up window at our local pharmacy, and I couldn’t help but reflect on the circumstances that brought us to this place.

If this were an interesting story, this is where some nifty hook would be. Alas, it is not an interesting story. All I’ve got for you is two adults and two children in line at a drive-up pharmacy window. Sometimes you have to count your blessings that that’s all life has got for you in its bag of tricks.
