Greg Matte on 'Remote' Parenting

The stage is set for a great father/son moment as we watch the first three outs and they break to commercial. Then the bottom drops out. Words like Cialis, Viagra, and ED roll through the air before I can find the mute button. Now the sound is off, but we see an image of individual bathtubs with a couple in their late 50s sitting in them, outside nonetheless, holding hands and giving us a glimpse of that “right moment.” Now, instead of fielding questions about the infield fly rule and my little league super stardom, I’m on the hot seat. “Dad, what is ED? Do people really take baths outside together? What does the “right moment” mean?”
