My teenage daughter plays sports and has since she was in grade school. Not long after she started, a woman that lives in our town asked to carpool.

This week marks the 20th anniversary of the beloved film Say Anything.

(You know the one — Lloyd wants to win back Diane, so he stands outside of her house with a boombox over his head.)
