Kragar says that life is like a parfait, but he doesn't mean the same thing by it that I do.
He talks about eating it, and how every few spoonfuls you hit a new taste before you're properly done with the last one, and how you hope you'll eventually hit one you can just savor, but before you know it you hit the bottom of the glass and there's nothing left. I suppose there's truth in that, but in the years when my father ran an ice-cream shop, I never ate a parfait, I made them; Kragar's analogy doesn't do much for me.
