At the Movies

Growing up, every Friday night was Family Night. Dad would rent two videos AND A VCR -- encased in heavy blue plastic -- from Blockbuster, and pick up the Little Caesar's Family Special: two large pepperoni pizzas (they came side by side back then, on one long sheet of cardboard with a divider in the middle).

We did this every Friday night for years. And whether or not we liked the movies, we always enjoyed the pizza. Oh, and the time together.
