Rented "About a Boy" with Hugh Grant today. The main character reminded me of myself. Both middle aged, single, having almost no responsibilities, and of course rakishly handsome (ahem.). Also, I usually date women with kids. At my age most of the women I see (not that I see a lot mind you) are doing the motherhood thing already. And it's not like I don't have my own baggage anyway.

Speaking of the baggage, there is this scene in the movie where Hugh Grant totally and completely makes an utter fool of himself on stage in front of a large crowd of people for the sake of this young boy. After watching it I turned to my baggage (aka daughter) and told her, "I will never make a fool out of myself like that for you. NEVER. Don't expect it. It's not going to happen. If you are in a position like that kid, you are TotallY on your own." She just laughed and said, "Not a problem."

Afterwards, we went for a walk. And for no reason at all I jumped into a snow bank.
