Happiness is not something you find. It's something you make.

Last night's movie was "The Boys Are Back". The official description is: "The film follows a witty, wisecracking, action-oriented sportswriter who, in the wake of his wife's tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood. With turbulent emotions swirling just below the surface, Joe Warr throws himself into the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: just say yes. Raising two boys, a curious six year old and a rebellious teen, in a household devoid of feminine influence, and with an unabashed lack of rules, life becomes exuberant, instinctual, reckless and on the verge of constant disaster.
That description would not have drawn me to see it. That's unfortunate. It's actually about how the death of an integral element of a family ripples outward, and changes all the relationships between all the other parts. It did that very well. I liked it, and recommend it.

The Man and I are getting together this evening. We'll be going to Carnegie Hall tomorrow evening for a taping of the PBS show "Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me".
I find that ironic.
He got tomorrow off work, and tried to get Friday off too, but due to work schedules was able to get only Friday morning. That's ok, I guess. He tried.
