The shared detail of resorting to glasses as a form of distance is a profound little piece of self-observation that makes for great storytelling. It conveys so much so effectively. We've just moved across town closer to my adult children for exactly the reason you describe, that kids we're bonded to age well and it just becomes more of a pleasure to be around them. And the fact that you've watched groundhog day, repeatedly, is more meta than my brain can handle this morning.
