1983 – John
Spend more time with Mary’s family. Dean and his little brother or sister deserve to know them through more than Christmas cards and phone calls. Maybe it’s time to let go of old grievances.
Finish turning Mary’s sewing room into the new nursery before the baby comes.
Make a point of spending more one-on-one time with Dean. Make sure he’s okay with being a big brother. Don’t let him feel left out.
Sell the Impala. Mary’s right, it’s hardly a family car. Maybe get something safe and family friendly like that Volvo she’s been hinting about, even if you can’t see yourself as the station wagon type.
1993 – John
Have “the talk” with Dean. Again.
Try not to go out hunting around Sammy’s birthday.
End this thing.
2000 – Sam
Look into fee wavers for the SAT. Don’t repeat the PSAT/NMSQT last-minute money scramble. No spending the night before patching up Dean or Dad this time, either.
Set up a P.O. Box for college applications. Start researching grants (they can’t be much harder than researching ghosts, after all).
Figure out a way to add an extracurricular or some community service hours to put on the applications.
Come up with a plan for telling dad.
2006 – Dean
Find Dad.
Get Sammy laid.
2007 – Sam
Fix this somehow.
