Transamerica

In line at the grocery store, two young women didn’t have the Jewel discount card, so I asked whether they could use mine. The checkout guy said, “Sure, we’ll just consider you their grandfather.” How about “father?” I retorted. He apologized, and I said I was just joking and actually had a granddaughter their age. Still it was a wake up call.

Watched two good movies On Demand, “Lost in Translation” with Bill Murray going through a midlife crisis, and “Transamerica” with “Desperate Housewife” star Felicity Huffman doing an amazing job playing a person wanting to have a sex change to become a woman and going on a cross-country road trip with her 17 year-old pimp son whom she bails out of a New York jail who does not realize she is his father.
