Change in Time and Conditions
A 25 year reflection describes a family ritual shift from a late night visit to a tavern to a modern scene with four chairs at a square table. Pa Ma and two boys leave after supper as a three piece band plays and cigars fill the air. Ma is helped home by a friend and later escorted by taxi.
