Being Bill Clinton

Chick Flicks Kill

My wife recently talked me into watching one of those dreaded chick flicks with her. Men usually look forward to these events about as much as a root canal. The name of the movie, in case you are so inclined is called " Me Before You ." To be fair to her it wasn't horrible in that it didn't feel like someone had taken a jack hammer to my #15 molar, although it also wasn't exactly The Grapes of Wrath either. Everyone in this movie was speaking old country English that as an A
