I imagine it helps to have the conversation sober.

[that goes for both of them. sam was nowhere near sober by the time he let last night, but fortunately he left before he could make an idiot of himself. or get thrown out. though he's not sure he wants much to go back.

at least the owner was nice.]

I'm also not as emotionally invested as most of the people here. It seems, going back, like nearly every family has to have lost someone...
