revenaSome of you probably know that my dad keeps a group blog, GeriLaw, about the practice of elder law. It is pretty cool that my dad has a blog, y'know? But it is awesome that he stuck a rickroll in this post: Why "Elder Law"?
Unrelatedly yet still somehow thematically linked in the most tenuous of ways, I watched Living 'Til the End on the 360 tonight through Netflix. It's got Sean Maher in it, which is why I had it in my instant queue even though it didn't impress me with great potential for awesome. For the most part, I was pleasantly surprised. Maher's character is an estate planner, which was kinda entertaining for me, since that's a profession I know quite a lot about, and the other lead is a writer. Hmmm! There was lots of quirky humor and some really great moments, but also a few odd gaps in the narrative, lines that felt very shoehorned-in, and an ending that left me disappointed. What made it more disappointing, really, was that the twist I wasn't expecting, the one that was actually twisty, was really interesting. Anyhow, it was not a bad way to occupy a few hours.
