    Typically, I spend holiday weekends at Mom’s. While other places in the country endured heat waves it was cool and rainy here, so I was snuggled under a heated blanket when she handed me the remote to find a movie. 

    Firestick remotes are the worst one-handed device. Granted my one hand is more like half a hand but still, how is someone supposed to push buttons on a Weeble-wobble remote? Voice control wasn’t working so I just clicked on the first recommended movie I could, Wish Man. How do you navigate television?

    Have you seen the 2019 film?  

    Thankfully, it wasn’t a dud. Although it wasn’t the best movie we’ve ever watched, it kept our interest to the end. Because I couldn’t click more info, we had no idea until the end the movie was about the founder of the Make-A-Wish foundation. Since I was a Make-A-Wish recipient I felt a connection. Learning the origins was kind of interesting and brought back memories.  

    Did you participate in Make-A-Wish? Did you know the founder’s story?

    I’ll have to add this to my watchlist! Sounds interesting. Make-A-Wish granted my family a trip to Disney when I was around 5 or 6. What wish did they give you?
