So, how did YOU spend Valentine's Day??

Here at the Such Is Life household, we just stayed in, as the last of three bad winter storm days tapered off. We could have gone out, but rather chose to invite a delivery driver over instead. Not for supper, just with supper...

While we were eating, we watched The Lake House, with Sandra Bullock, and Keanu Reeves. Depending on your age as you read this, those folks are either relevant contemporary actors, or old geezers with one foot each in the retirement home. I choose to believe they're still young enough to pull off a movie like that, although either one could easily be a parent figure to say, Hilary Duff...

The point is (and I'll get there eventually), is that when I spotted the DVD in the store, I knew right away that Mrs. That Dan Guy and I would enjoy it. I'd heard the storyline in advance, and it got just ravaged enough by critics that it had all the earmarks of a romantic classic. And, it didn't star Hilary Duff...

Which gives one pause, because now Hilary Duff wouldn't be considered all that young any more. My reference points for "the youth" of today may now be getting long in the teeths themselves!!

However, I think I was working my way to some kind of point here earlier, which is now entirely lost to me...

Oh yeah. The Lake House!! Starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. If you see just one romantic movie this year, see The Lake House...

Hmm. That sounds more like a tag line than an endorsement. And I do endorse this movie, it's really good. But now I'm so worried that I don't know who to use as a reference for the younger set, I can barely think straight!! Dakota Fanning??? She doesn't sing though...

I must withdraw for today, and go surf the Google. Who are today's brightest talents?? Does Keanu Reeves use Grecian formula hair color now?? Would Sandra Bullock be considered an old goat nowadays?? My world is completely awry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chow for now!!

Working is a necessary evil. Even on Valentine's day, I suppose...
