Howdy,
With this Christmas vacation there’s been a lot of going back in time, reaching for history; it’s like we’re turning back the clock again today, like yesterday.
Today?
The crazy, amazing, unbelievable notion to attempt to … (are you ready for this?) watch a movie.
With adults.
In a living room — actually, the TV room. Sitting on a couch. Relaxed.
Crazy, right?
Back in time, like before kids.
Put the boys to bed and keeping Riah kinda quiet.
At Sarah’s parents — where we used to watch without interruption movies, and shows like the The Office and Parks and Recreation — we popped in a DVD and, ironically, it didn’t work. Seriously.
So after many attempts, we switched movies.
How was the movie, you ask?
Oh, we ditched the uncooperative Sully and watched Ben-Hur. It was good, though I must say the ending was awfully tidy.
But that doesn’t even matter to us — good or too tidy. We turned back the clock and enjoyed a movie with the family — like old times. For today, a great ending.
—Billy
