    Planet Earth is Blue

    Conception Stories

    In The Better Half we learned Sally was conceived during a vacation with Betty’s family at Lake Champlain. We also know Gene was conceived at Betty’s childhood home during a visit to her father (“… conceived in a moment of desperation and born into a mess.”). Makes you wonder how Bobby came to be …
