Mr. Jimmy Johnson, if you are reading this, could you shed the definitive word on your characters’ ages? Long time readers will know that Arlo and Janis were probably in their early-to-mid twenties when they had Gene, who is in his early-to-mid twenties now, but now Arlo is quoting a George Carlin routine from the 1960s and Janis laments over ‘losing her figure’ the way one would expect a fifty- or sixty-something person to do. The math doesn’t always seem to add up. …and were Arlo and Janis intended to be named after Arlo Guthrie and Janis Joplin? Thanks.
sigh oooooo-kaaaaay…
