The Two Towers was a marvelous movie. I was ready to turn around and go right back into the theater! Nina and I will definitely go next week, perhaps on Monday afternoon after we’ve finished with the will. That’s a task that’s been put off too long, so Monday morning we’ll review the wills thoroughly with our lawyer and get them finalized.

We left the office about 10 a.m. to go to the 11:30 a.m. movie. When we got to the theater, the line of people with advance purchase tickets was fairly long. We waited in line until almost 11:20 before the doors into the theater complex opened. They were showing the film on two screens, both of which were filled to capacity. It was a thoroughly engrossing movie and the almost three hours were over quite quickly.

I did find it very strange that the building was closed up for so long with only a few minutes to get into the right theater and seated before the movie started. As it was, I found a seat, left my jacket there, took a couple of food orders, and went back out to the popcorn counter to get some popcorn and drinks. Those lines were pretty long as well and I didn’t get back into the theater until about 11:50. I got to my seat as the last preview finished and the main feature started. Thank goodness for previews!

We’ve had a little snow this afternoon — perhaps an inch or so. Probably don’t have much more snow coming, even this small amount wasn’t forecast. We’d sure like to get a lot of snow and make some more progress towards breaking the drought in this area.
