2004 Begins
To begin the first post of the year, I want to start off with a Thank You to those of you that took the time to share your good luck wishes for the new year. With all of your positive thoughts, I feel like my mojo has been energized.
Although the rain did clear for a while on New Year’s eve, I ultimately decided on plan B and went to the movies rather than venture into Waikiki. Instead of going to two movies as I had planned, I chose to see only one. I bought a tub of popcorn and a coke, and splurged on a box of Junior Mints. As you know, they are very refreshing!
I always like to get to the theater a little early just so I can find a good seat and get settled in. The movie was due to start in five minutes, so I hoped that a good seat with elbow room was still available. I was somewhat surprised to find the place completely empty. As I was choosing my seat and getting settled in, a pretty young woman walked down the aisle and said with a soft smile, “Last refuge for the loners.” She sat in a seat, and soon six others would follow.
As for the movie, In America is an excellent film. A sweet movie that has an innocence to it that is tangible. If you get the opportunity to see it, I highly recommend it. I won’t give the storyline away, but the two little girls are simply adorable. I kept thinking to myself, I want a daughter just like that. Some things you should wish for, and some things you shouldn’t.
