Sidney Rothman
When Sidney Rothman, head writer for Letterman, is fired he decides to take some time off. After 10 years of frantically being “on” in the hyper-alert city of L.A., Rothman decides to go to the only place he ever remembers feeling relaxed in his life – Florida. So, at the ripe age of 29, Rothman finds himself a roommate in a retirement “village” and starts early retirement… just to try it out. Both funny and sad, Rothman muses on the early-bird dinners, trying to break into the cool cliques by the pool, the joy of terry-cloth clothing and the pace of life for the end-of-lifers. Funny, weird and interesting. And to be honest, working for a very long time doesn’t look so bad after all…
