Funny, kind of weird thing happened. I have not taken my wife out on a movie date (we have enjoyed many dinner dates - check our waste lines) since the kids were very small.
She has been on vacation this week. I had Thursday off work, we went out to watch the new Star Trek movie AS A COUPLE for the first time alone in many (too many to remember) years.
The last time we did this we had a baby sitter, watching our young ones (competent teen niece) and the electricity went down during the movie. ON Thursday, we were enjoying our movie and the electricity went down.
WTF!
Really.
It was about twenty minutes before the theater had electricity again. She (went to pee) had a break, then I went out for a puff of my pipe, had a look at the kind of fucking awesome storm.
Once the movie started, the emergency lights were still on. We had to sit through the last half of the movie with the emergency lights blasting in our faces.
I was a little pissed. She just wanted to go after the movie but I found the right person to "pretend to be" aggressive toward. He gave us two free tickets to return for another matinee showing.
Sometimes, I just encase that energy and deal with it in some possibly harmful way inside myself, but when I use it, it usually works in my favor. It seems as if the entire world is full of weak sheep and will do anything to get someone out of their face, especially when that someone/the opponent has an argument that they can not even begin to oppose.
Anyway, we walked out of the theater to watch an enormously powerful, but very small storm head on its way after dumping havoc on our town for about an hour.
All in all the insane coincidence of having the power go off on our last two couple dates ten years apart just felt "normal" for us at this point.
