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

“Kids, I want to talk to you for a minute too. I don’t want to say that this doesn’t affect you, but your da and I put your college funds away long before we split. We could both contribute to them, but neither of us could withdraw from them without the other signing off as well, so those are in good shape. We have enough for undergrad, and as for graduate school, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. Please understand that I have been saving a lot of money over the years, and Janey you’ll be fine for the rest of your year volunteering.”


“I thought I would stay here for the rest of the year,” Janey said. “Maybe I could help.”
