Arnold: Have you heard from your family since you sent the picture of us on New Year's Eve?
Gramma Evie: NO.
Arnold: Well, no news is GOOD news!
Gramma Evie: Or -
Gramma Evie: They're taking extra time to plan their ATTACK.
Time to prepare your counter-attack, Evie. You could ask if they’d rather you develop a relationship with someone your own age who tends to be abusive…
Well, Ike SCHAEF, what we DO know about Arnold is that he’s a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, which makes it unlikely that he’s a paranoid reactionary uptight redneck…
rac0308, I think Arnold is the same guy, although it’s only now that we’ve seen him and learned his name. The desire to reconnect with Arnold was floated (and seems to have been confirmed) as one of Evie’s motivations for the Thailand trip.
When Evie started talking about going to Thailand, one of her daughters did say something about Arnold, whether he was the reason (or one of the reasons) she wanted to go. So they had heard about him before and knew his name.

He looks like some hippy waste product of the 60’s. San Fran or Berkely, no doubt.

It sounds like she’s planning to bring him home! Maybe this is more serious than we thought.

The story moves along. Evie knows her family well. Didn’t know her guy was coming with her.

That’s one way of looking at it Gramma. xD
