Let's Do This

It was decided over dinner. The five of us made a pact. The visiting San Franciscan and his lovely GF, the three Sherman Oaksians. Let's do this. Let's stop putting it off. Enough with the procrastinating. Others have done it. We should do it, too. Even if it's hard. Even if it tests our spirit. Our endurance. We'll make it through the storm. Together. There will be no falling asleep. No snoozing of any kind. We must be awake for this. Or it won't count. And so, we made our way to the various seating opportunities in the place we call the family room. Even though it's not really a room. For our floor plan is what the experts call open. But there's an area we turn to at these times when we need to view something big and important. For the next 137 minutes, we did what we said we'd do. No matter how unpleasant... how grueling and relentless. No matter how many expletives were uttered, mainly by the visiting San Franciscan and the SJG. No matter how many times our resolve weakened. We did it. We watched "Unbroken."
