I recently visited my mother in her assisted living facility, and she was sitting in her wheelchair looking at a copy of ESPN Magazine.
“Studying for the Super Bowl?” I asked.
“No,” she responded. “I don’t like sports.”
I noticed the stack of magazines on her table. FORBES. MENS HEALTH. EBONY. JET. YOGA TODAY. ELLE.
“Have you been taking your medications, Mom?” I asked, wondering about her sudden interest in all things young and masculine.
