"Every night around 11 PM, Emily's dad, dressed in his pajamas, seats himself at a particular chair around the kitchen table, distinct from the chair at which he takes his meals. At the table with him are a paper cup full of chilled milk and a generous helping of something sweet, such as a thick slice of cake or a stack of powdered donuts. He reads the Boston Globe's Op-Ed page while enjoying his snack, and is NOT to be disturbed by the family during this sacred hour. At some point during Milk Station he will doze off and face-plant into the remainder of his sugary treat. He'll wake up a couple hours later, wipe the icing or confectioner's sugar from his nose and glasses, and stumble up to bed." (as told by Matt)
