Remember good old lesson #3. I failed that lesson again and will probably have to go to summer school for refresher training. The weather was rainy and cold so we left the camper today to go to the movies. I wanted to see Gran Torino so Sheila suggested I buy tickets on-line as the theater would probably be busy. Of course I ignored her and we headed for the mall. Once we got there I wanted to do a little shopping prior to seeing the movie and once again Sheila suggested I get our tickets first. Of course, once again I ignored her and we took off to do our shopping. She tried to save me one more time as we were waiting in line to pay for our stuff at the store. Sheila recommended that I go buy the tickets while she paid for our stuff. Was I smart enough to heed her third warning? Nope!! As we headed for the movie theater we noticed a line that stretched halfway around the food court. Apparently everyone over the age of 55 in Crystal River chose today to go to the movies. There was no way we were going to get into that movie so we gave up and came home. In hindsight, if I wasn't such a slow learner, I wouldn't have blown lesson #3 twice in a year. Maybe I'm getting Alzheimer's or something. Either way I'm now in for at least a week of much deserved "I told you so's".
My father and his fiance are staying about half an hour South of here so we headed down there for dinner and played some cards afterwards. The day turned out good after all.
Don't know why those Teribery Men just don't know it's ALWAYS best to listen to their women! Must be something in the genes, that makes them want to say "Yes Dear, you are right, I should have listened to you the first time, or at least the second time...: but come'on Butch 3 times!
ReplyDeleteHope Sheila is the using the gloating to her advantage!
