worth dying for?

I couldn't help it. I thought of C while I read this entertaining story about George Clooney. And not because they look alike –although, maybe in 20 years, when C's got more gray hair, but because he is always talking about the actor, his projects and bla, bla, bla. But I definetly prefer Mr. Clive Owen. Here is the link to Time, just in case you want to read it.

Wonder what might had happend if this cover had hit the stands in 2001?

The very first time my mom told me she was dating someone, I was quite happy. Her voice and her attitude reminded me of a teenager; a happy teenager that's just discovered love. And for a moment, I felt like the mother. And for a moment, I felt like the friend.
But now he is real. Although my father died almost 13 years ago, it is so weird. We are having lunch with them on Sunday. It sort of bothers me, but if she is happy… I guess everyone, especially when they are over 60, deserve a second chance and lots of love.
