Middle America's Worldview

I was able to watch Star Wars Episode III last night with a bud of mine. It was the first time he and I got out of the house together. I enjoyed his company as we were transfixed with the show. He like I, has a wife with no interest in the Star Wars saga. Also, he like I, has a birthday this week. So, with both wishing to see it on the big screen, broke loose and watched it.

The movie in one word was, coooool. I had read the reviews and thoughts of others watching the movie, no spoilers for me. I agree with some but not all. I personally didn't think it dragged at first. The 2.5 hours went quick for me. Yes, the desirable questions were answered, why, why, why. As we watched it I caught myself saying out loud. 'That's why....' Yes, the movie was great.

The plan for last night was for me and a friend to watch the flick, while my honey had some time alone last night. The kids went to their nana and papa's since we will be flying into Pennsylvania next Friday for a week. I couldn't help having the image of my wife waiting for me in bed at home while I watched the show. Yes, my imagination is good. I also had the lingering wonder if she would actually be asleep, LOL. The movie was over at 9 p.m. and my buddy and I talked as I dropped him off at his house and headed for home. I unlocked the front room door and sure enougth the lights were out with the exception of the bedroom. As I came in, Kel said she had to hide the guys in bed. I thought she was kidding, but then she said "and the pokemon movie". Then I heard the movie in our bedroom.

"What?"

Our son was in the bed watching a Pokemon movie.

She explained around 8 p.m. someone was homesick and came back. I quickly calculated that gave her barely 2 hours alone time.

So, no alone time for my honey and my dreams of lust bit the dust.
