So, last night S.O. Man suggests we “do something together”
Great. Sounds good to me.
“Hey, let’s rent a movie. We’ll get something you want to see, a chick flick – how about Basic?”
That’s what he considers a chick flick? 
Well, there is a chick in it ~ I think. I heard it was incredibly bad and I am not in the mood for a bad John Travolta movie (of which there are many)
Fortunately, I managed to get “About a Boy” instead. I had heard it was quite good, and I really enjoy Toni Collette’s work. Happy to report it was a nice movie. A middle-aged man coming of age story. Heartwarming, moving, funny and all that.
I enjoyed it and it got S.O Man laughing. A smashing success.
