Jason lives a comfortable life. His business is successful. Both his children have wonderful futures ahead, and people think he’s pretty neat. There is just one thing Jason wishes he could get rid of -- his ex. When they meet for coffee, however, Jason realizes that after ten years, he wants Howard back. Luckily, Jason has a plan. For Howard, his life is as good as it gets. He’s raised two great children, and helped his ex build a business that provides Howard palimony. Unfortunately, his ex is also the ultimate Zen-wrecker, and no amount of deep breathing can get him out of Howard’s head. When Jason shows up broke and with a hair-brained scheme to get Howard back in his life, under the guise of celebrating the tenth anniversary of their divorce, Howard isn’t sure if he’s being insulted or wooed. But he reluctantly agrees to go back to work at the company, and to allow Jason to move back home. Can ten years heal old wounds? Have Jason and Howard ever stopped loving each other, or should they call it a day and just celebrate their “divorce-ary?” And in the end, who will be the real trickster -- Jason, Howard, or that marvel we call love?

The Divorceary

“Wait, where’s your Hummer, Da?” James asked.


“I got rid of it. Long story. I’ll explain later,” Jason said.


“Let’s take Dad’s new Jag,” Janey suggested.


“Or…” Jason said. “We could take Edgar.”


“Yes!” Janey shouted. “Retro weekend with the folks! Let’s do it.”


Howard turned to his daughter and laughed only to see that James was just as excited as she was. “Edgar it is,” he said. “Your da has the keys.”


“You still remember how to drive her, Da?” James asked.


“Your da is her exclusive driver right now,” Howard said.


“While I’m working things out with a new car,” Jason said. “That could take a while though.”


Howard watched as Jason didn’t answer, but tossed the keys to Janey and said, “Why don’t you drive?’
