Heck, you'd probably go to a movie with the words "sisterhood" or "groove back" in the title!
Actually on several occasions Lisa has refused to come to race events of mine simply because she's not interested, and I've got no problem with that. Similarly, I'd refuse to see Celine Deon even if the only reason to go was to please Lisa.

There's plenty of middle ground out there, like going to Seca for the Historics on Sunday, and then to the Aquarium on Monday. One's more fun for me, the other for her, but neither of us were required to suffer simply for the sake of the other.

Lisa already knows better than to ask me to watch chick flicks, but I'll watch a Disney movie no sweat 'cause they at least tend to have great animation which is something I'm entertained by even if the story is cheesy. Like I said, there's plenty of middle ground out there to meet on.
