Remember Fast Times at Ridgemont High where Brad (Judge Reinhold’s character) rehearses breaking up with his girlfriend only she surprises him by breaking up with him first? And then he starts trying to talk her out of it and thinks of all the reasons why they shouldn’t break up?Life follows art. DGS decided he and his current girlfriend weren’t exactly a match and their relationship (such as it was) had run its course. For several days he planned what he would say and how he would say it. The moment arrived and surprise, she did it first. DGS was caught off guard but told her he agreed it would be best and to his credit didn’t try to talk her out of it or let her know he had been thinking of it first. They started out as friends and ended as friends.
Incidentally, he hasn’t seen Fast Times and I’m thinking of renting it for him.

Hum...breaking up is hard to do....lalalala...remember the song? Your daughter is absolutely beautiful and you should be oh-so-very-proud. We heard about the beef recall...and your remark about veggies reminded me of that scene from Notting Hill where Hugh Grant is being fixed up with a lot of girls and one is some weird person that only eats fruit and veggies that have fallen from the tree or vine because veggies have feelings! I have missed you.
Yep, I remember the song. One of the things DGS decided they didn't have in common was their taste in music. And she loaned him a favorite book and he thought it was sophomoric. Still laughing over the "fruit & veggie" bit - that weird person must have been a vegan, ha! We are proud of DD and hope they can all be together soon. Of course that means we get our place back...whoo-hooo!
