For folks who have HBO.......

Two Rob Reiner movies are on tonight: When Harry Met Sally and The American President. I love both of these movies.

It's a little extravagant, but Cable T.V. and some of the streaming channels are one of the few luxuries I allow myself (because watching good shows and movies are one of my joys in life).

In order to prevent collapsing into a trembling ball of whimpering helplessness.

That means no The American President, no Dave, no The West Wing, and so on.

Among my most favorite films and television shows of all times.
