The trick is how to make Smith's career to intersect with the publisher without Jones knowing about it. And for it to be more contemporary, I think that Smith and Jones would have to live together platonically. Oh, I've got it worked out. Want to collaborate? :)DonnaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899951585332831067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35476861.post-90236218850810466602008-04-11T10:48:00.000-05:002008-04-11T10:48:00.000-05:00Donna, I'm so glad you enjoyed the movie!

My hubby liked it too; he was especially impressed by the prayer of Jimmy Stewart's grandmother character (I had to help him write it down). For such a short film, it moved very quickly and told a wonderful story. <BR/><BR/>I think the film could have been a wee bit longer; there were several instances where I wanted to have more of the DonnaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899951585332831067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35476861.post-86917110368283915762008-04-10T12:17:00.000-05:002008-04-10T12:17:00.000-05:00No one can blame you for knowing more recent roman...No one can blame you for knowing more recent romantic comedies, Gwyneth.
