I suppose that could be it, but Mom likes my sister better, and lives much closer, but she hasn't gone to see any of her shows--which are a thing you can enjoy! We always used to go to dinner theater when I was younger, and we'd go to all the school plays, so I know theater is a thing she can understand. (She lives in Charles Town, WV; my sister is in University Park. Mom doesn't drive on the highway. She'll only go places if someone else will drive her.)

There's actually a really long post I could write about this whole situation, especially after the long text conversation I had with my sister last week, and rather than leave it as a comment, I think I'll write it in the next few days.
