A milestone of sorts today--Dan and I went to a movie!  It's been a while since we've seen a film outside of the house so I was really looking forward to it.

We picked Last Chance Harvey on the theory that it was a romantic comedy.  It turned out to be more of a slowly developing, midlife transition movie with funny, embarassing, sad and many tender moments.  It had a sort of meditative quality about it that didn't fit with my expectations but is resonating well after the movie.

I noticed when we first got to the theater that there were a lot of elderly folks there, some with walkers who very carefully lined their walkers up alongside the aisle to get into the seating area.  As we were getting up to leave the theater, I said to Dan that maybe we should wait until the rush was over to leave and then we both laughed as we figured out that I could probably keep pace with the crowd at hand.

Now, since I've not napped yet today (!), I'm off for a rest.  Counting my blessings for a normal day, a loving husband and a Creator with a sense of humor.

What an incredibly boring post you made today Laura. Really, it was so boring, so normal life crap! BFD, you went to a movie, bla bla bla (just kidding). Can I please have many many more of these type of posts please? I like when you can report a normal day...:-)

PS. I spoke to someone today that remembered when Dan relocated my cube into the ladies room. Can you guess who I talked to?

Hi Hal,

Funny! It was a nice change of pace to be "normal."

I like it when I can report daily stuff, too.

Let's see...you talked to Gordon?
