Over the Hill
I shouldn't be surprised- it's just like Papa to leave the planning to the last minute. But this? Unbelievable. A person's birthdate doesn't change from year to year, now, does it? Most people have their 60th Event planned years in advance.

What is the Real Ending to The Lighthouse?
The Lighthouse is a special kind of horror film. We follow the story of two men stuck on a small island working as lighthouse keepers, and both men slowly lose their mind as their stay on the island builds up to complete chaos. When they realize there is no one coming to pick them up from the island, both men go down a path of madness.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy:
"If he is not the word of God, God never spoke." It's a line spoken by The Man, unnamed, early on in the 2007 Pulitzer Prize winning novel, "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. It's this line, elegiac and moving, infused with despair and hope, that informs you, you're not reading something you'll easily forget.

Toast/speech - AKA What happened to the best man?
Quick note: a friend suggested having a go at Lana’s toast challenge, for some reason I scribbled it down one night over a week ago what I envisioned being super awkward. Then read Lana’s challenge LATER and realised mine was way too long and didn’t fit some of the criteria, so eventually just decided to post for fun. You can check out her terrific challenge below if you haven’t already.
