    Did something different last night.

    The big TC Film Festival is underway this week and one of their features is a huge outdoor screen setup on the bay where they show free movies.
    Only problem is they can't start the movie till it gets dark and around here with DST it's about 10pm.
    Last night Kay wanted to see the movie "Across the Universe", packed up a couple of comfortable chairs and headed downtown. I don't know how many of you have seen this movie but it's based on all Beatles songs and pretty much covers what went on during the 60's (the great decade I grew up in ;>) ). Weather was a cool summer night, breeze off the bay, no bugs, about 800 people of all ages and according to the film festival the first time an outdoor movie has been shown in 4HD.
    Movie brought back lots of memories of that time, both good and bad, but we really did enjoy it.
    The only downside was we got home a few minutes before midnight, a time I have not seen in about a year and half.
    Working today at about 3/4 speed but see an afternoon nap on the schedule.
    The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me

    I have seen it several times and loved it. I also bought the soundtrack.

    What's 4HD?

    And I anxiously open the mailbox daily to see if you've sent me the deed to the property up there that I KNOW you've bought me..........but so far nothing!!!

    4HD according to the paper is 4 times what HD tv is.

    Sounds like fun jb, I like doing things like that sometimes myself. I get in the work-eat-watch tv-sleep rut.... like many a man I am sure. Good to change things up once in a while and do something new.

    Will

    Sounds like a hoot. Glad y'all had a good time, but I know ya and a afternoon nap has NEVER required you to stay up late the night before.
    You are the king of afternoon naps.
    Take Care, Captain

    Sounds like a good time for sure.
    Down here it woulda been 100 degrees with 100% humidity and Mosquitos flying around that are big enough to stand flat footed and screw a turkey!

    Ours have to stand on their tip toes, but it's always a huge gang bang.
