Flirting With Forty is based on a Jane Porter novel and Jane wrote it after she got divorced, went to Hawaii and met a hot surfing instructor nine years her junior.

With whom she's now expecting a baby at age 44.

That is the most beautiful story I have ever heard.

erika, I watched a movie called 25th Hour over the weekend. It wasn't very good, but Clay was in it! And guess what?? He said "sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit" about a thousand times! I never knew the actor brought it to The Wire ; thought it was the opposite.
