4 out of 10 people say they don’t have a single close friend who’s political views were different than their own
That is what I think I heard on the radio this morning. Which cannot be a good thing, I thought to myself. And then I reminded myself that I am one of the 6. I have a friend who’s political views are polar opposite of mine and I can honestly say that I consider him one of my very close friend.
But that brought up some other interesting thoughts.

After both sign an agreement with a company that offers to end their lives when they least expect it, a dejected millionaire and a disheartened young woman fall in love and have to find a way to get out of their binding contracts.
With a tag line like above, how was I supposed to start watching it. As I did, I realized that it was a foreign film and not the usual French or Italian or German or East European but Dutch. I don’t recall another Dutch movie that I have watched before.

Saw a tweet the other day from “Focus Features” about #NationalBookLoversDay with the question – “What is your favorite book to film adaption?” My immediate response was, LOTR, Hobbit, Godfather and The Princess Bride.
But of course I immediately realized that can’t be all. So the search begins.

September 1999 to August 2020
I dropped it off at Wrench A-Part. This was very difficult. Which I am not totally surprised but yet at the same time I am a little.
The final mileage was 355,700ish – yes, I didn’t get to get to capture the exact mileage 😦 Given all my Odometer posts over the years you’d think I would have captured the final mileage.
I was planning to. But things don’t go as we plan. No, it’s not – “Things Don’t Always Go as Planned”. I am convinced “Things Never Go Exactly as You Plan, Never. Period”. Things Never go Exactly as we plan. But I digress. This is not what I am writing about. That’s another post for another time.
It was time to let go of the Maxima. This was the only new car I have ever bought. This was also the very first car I bought after my daughter was born.

Not sure we are all on the same page when we say, “can’t wait till things go back to normal”. Not saying I too have not have the same thought – I have. I am just not sure that my list of “normal” things that I am looking forward to may not quite be the same as your, or vice versa.
For me personally, working “remotely” was “normal” for a long time. So, no longer having to work remotely, would NOT be going back to normal.
