About Dad's Recliner
Every home seems to have one, the chair that belongs to Dad and nobody else. The armrests are worn just so, the footrest rises with a satisfying click of the lever, and the remote has a permanent groove where his thumb rests. A good lamp angles in from one side, a blanket drapes over the back, and the whole corner carries the quiet authority of a place truly, deeply claimed.
