Everyone knows it's windy
Random Sunday night adventure to York tonight to see The Princess Bride on the big screen. As a Lancastrian, I have an innate prejudice against the White Rose City. Rumor has it that the average IQ drops 50 points once you cross the Susquehanna. But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy an evening in an old-timey theater, with an organ (!!) playing things like The Carpenters "On Top of the World" or "Georgie Girl" before the movie starts and then disappearing back into the floor as the film begins.
Princess Bride is such a great movie--"I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!" "You've just made one of the classic blunders: the first--never get involved in a land war in Asia. But the second! Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line!" "Stop rhyming-I mean it. Anybody want a peanut?" "Life is pain, highness. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something." I think of that one at work all the time. But the battle of wits is my favorite part. I'm always saying "it's down to you and it's down to me." Well, whenever it's relevant, which is rare.
Before the movie we went to Memphis Blues, which is a yummy ribs/BBQ place. Tons of beef! It was delish.
The whole trip was FREEZING, though. The wind is blowing like 50 mph here. This afternoon I was running errands and it was like an obstacle course on the road--Coke bins from a nearby gas station, trash cans, tree branches--everything was out and blowing around. And tonight/tomorrow is going to be the coldest of the year so far. It's bitter. Right now I'm under the covers and I don't want to go anywhere.
