Summer's over and our Fall is getting pretty squeezed. Winter keeps barging in--we have had snow already! Thursday we attended the Kris Kristofferson concert in Billings and afterwards drove home in a blizzard! The day time temps the last few days have been in the 30s! I'm not ready. I haven't even unearthed my winter clothing yet.
Given that it's Grover's birthday on Monday, I arranged for us to attend and hear the music of 2 very well-known Country singers. The Kris Kristofferson concert Thursday was good. Last night we went to Cody and saw another concert called "Ring of Fire." I bet you know who was the focus of that concert. It was very fun. Lots of Johnny Cash favorites sung by 7 very talented and energetic musicians, separately and in duets and combinations. Grover/Dad really enjoyed it.
And to add to the fun, we squeezed in a matinee. You know, when we drive an hour to Cody we try to make the most of the trip. So we went early and watched the movie: Gravity. It was also very good. I can only imagine how it would be at an IMAX 3D showing of it. Probably amazing.
We found a cute little coffee shop, too. They serve nice sandwiches and salads and I think we'll make it one of our regular spots when we're in Cody and are famished. Don't you just love that word?! Famished! I haven't used it in a long, long time. I think I will start using it more. It has such a nice sound when you say it out loud. Try it. Famished. I think an exclamation point is even implied.
Which reminds me. When I was at the movies yesterday I ordered popcorn.
The nice young man asked, "Butter?"
And I said, "Definitely."
After he handed me our sodas, he said, "Did you say extra butter?"
And thinking for a moment, I said, "Well, I said 'definitely,' which I believe certainly could mean 'extra butter.' I believe you read that right. So, yes, 'extra butter' would be great."
Don't you love it when people are paying attention? When they get your meaning? I do.
We are traveling to California for business on Monday. On Grover/Dad's birthday. Are we going to have a great time? Definitely!
