After that they keep bumping into each other. They have lunch together and see a movie. Soon they spend every Thursday afternoon together. They are both married and happy in their marriages.

Friday: Prom (2020)

          Two self centered Broadway stars, Dee Dee and Barry, are depressed after their latest musical failed. They meet up with two other failed actors, Angie and Trent. When they find out one of the reasons the musical failed was because they are seen as self-centered, they come up with a plan. They need a cause that will make them look good. Angie reads a article about a high school student in a small town in Indiana who's prom got canceled because she wanted to take her girlfriend to prom. They decide to go there and help her. Emma just wanted to go to prom with her girlfriend. She didn't mean for it to get canceled. Her principal is very supportive and helps to get the prom back on. When the broadway actors arrive they make things worse. But they don't give up and fight to get Emma the inclusive prom she deserves. This is a good movie. I enjoyed it. It is based on the broadway musical.

Surprise Chorizo and the Floating Castle

         Well after two months I was finally able to go to a restaurant on my list. I went to Tight Tacos, the SE Division location. There is neighborhood parking on the streets behind it, but you might have to drive around a little. It is a small restaurant next to other restaurants and shops. They were only open for take out but there were picnic tables you could sit at on the sidewalk. The tables were in the shade so it was nice on a warm day. From what I could see inside it was clean and modern. There is some color and hanging Christmas lights. The service was good. I got three tacos: chicken, carnitas, and asada. I think that I got chorizo instead of asada. It was actually the best one flavor wise. The carnitas meat was good but there wasn't a lot of flavor. I forgot to ask for no onions so I had to scrape them off. The tacos were good. I would go back. The one problem I had was they serve the food in takeout containers. And they have tables for you to sit ...
