I’m sure this contributed to my investment in this episode.
I watched “The Quarterback” episode for the first time alone, because I was certain that I’d be emotional. I also wanted to preview it, before deciding whether or not to let my kids (ages 12and 9) watch. Continue reading at Chick Lit Plus…
