A Hard Day's Night...

So what do you do after a long day, or rather a long week?  Sit with the family for Friday night pizza and movies.  Granted, when this family tradition first started, I was three weeks old and sitting in my baby chair in the middle of the kitchen table while my great-grandmother, grandparents and mother broke off a tiny piece of Me & Ed's linguica pizza.  From that day on, a tradition was born.

Friday night pizza and movies continues to this day thirty-yadda-yadda-yadda years later.  Tonight, instead of having pizza delivered, we opted for Freschetta pizza.  And although the days of running down to the video store are long gone thanks to On Demand and Red Box, we still "rent" movies.  On the playbill tonight Gnomeo and Juliet, one of my new favorite animated movies (considering it's not a Disney flick and I am a HUGE Disney freak...although it did pay homage to one of my favorite attractions at Walt Disney World - The Tiki Room!) and The Rite which is based on the story of Fr. Gary Thomas and his experience as an exorcist.  Both films were good for very different reasons.  Yet both are rooted in hope...in G&J the hope that true love will overcome the hate between two families while The Rite focuses on the hope and belief that love of God and Jesus can triumph over sin and the devil himself.

Well, that's enough commentary for now.
