Uhhh… Thanks De Niro!

by

I am watching The Intern with Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro.

What a heartwarming movie. It’s a change… seeing myself in the character of the older person vs the younger. There’s a lot that I’m loving about this movie.

  • The Big Boss is kind and not a holy terror.
  • The Intern (De Niro) is capable and patient.  I can see him use his years of experience in his actions.

I’m sure I’m reading into it more than the movie intended, but I still see it. Anne Hathaway’s character made a comment to De Niro’s.

“How do you always know the right thing to say?”

An Experience I could have lived without

 I have thought about how to write this post over and over again. Started it over and over again.  No matter how I start I keep coming up short on portraying the experience I had. 

This isn’t a post that will have my normal snark in it. It’s not a bright and fun experience. My attempts to make it more light hearted or riddled with quips and other such thing don’t really help it out. 

I was already not feeling good. Having issues keeping food down. The first couple days was water and crackers.  As nauseous as I was, those two things still seemed to stay down. The third … read more...
