Pursuit of Happiness

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are words cherished by many Americans. Dwight Freeman, recently retired history professor, is not so sure, however, that pursuing happiness is a worthwhile enterprise. As the world starts to return to something close to normal after two years of COVID-19-induced hibernation, Dwight finds himself searching for something meaningful to do. Even after meeting Martina, a delightful woman ten years his junior, at a college reunion, he continues to believe that seeking happiness ultimately results in disappointment. It remains to be seen whether he'll give Martina the opportunity to prove him wrong.
