Jim's response to "Powder"

The father seemed more adventurous while the son was almost compulsive in his need to plan everything ahead. I was amused at the hint of sarcasm when they didn't agree they would refer to each other as "doctor."

I think it was also interesting how the son was interested and sort of admired the way the father drove at the end of the story. And the way that driving through the snow gave the father a revelation of trying to get back with the boy's mother after they get back home. It seems like a lot of family dynamic does go on throughout the story and I believe that it was very interesting to see how this plays out.
