A surgeon at work has been recommending this book for months. The movie is also playing at our tiny little local theater next month for one week, which is unusual.

So, in the next month I should know what all the hubbub is about.
A little backstory: The first time my son, Will, ever heard me swear, it was not the giant F-bomb he picked up — or repeated, at least. What he immediately took to is what we very straightforwardly dubbed The Stubbed Toe Dance. That dance has carried on and now, in that taboo kind of way, bears no known association with its origin; ironically, it’s just something you do when you’re in a good mood. Like when point A is the living room and point B is a snack in the kitchen — a good Stubbed Toe Dance appropriately connects those points.
