[re favorite episode of
The Twilight Zone (1959)] I'm drawn to nostalgic things. "In Praise of Pip," with
Jack Klugman, is about a gambler whose wounded son comes back from Vietnam as a little boy, and they return to an amusement park. It's complete magic, and it's a lovely story. It is sad, but he gets another chance with his son, and they have the best times of their lives together. I love writing about the themes of family and the parent-child connection.
