DO YOU REMEMBER DALLAS?
BLOG PREFACE: I forget that there is an age difference between myself and my good buddy Christy. In my mind's eye, I am still 25 years old, so, Christy is, theoretically, older than me. This works for me. Although, I'm not altogether sure how well it works for Christy ...
FAST-FORWARD TO THIS PAST FRIDAY: Christy and I were feeling a little restless. Two single girls on a Friday night ... we needed to find something to do! Okay, yes, perhaps we were a little bit on the prowl.
So, we went to our favorite pizza buffet place, and, I, (speaking completely for myself) ate my weight in pizza. Christy took me to some incredibly ADORABLE neighborhoods in Frankfort that I didn't even know existed! That's a blog for another day, and we then decided to go back to my place and watch a movie.
I let Christy go through my movies and decide which one she wanted to watch.
"I want to watch something funny," Christy said.
"Okay," was my reply. "There are funny ones in there. Just ask me."
"What about SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS? Is that one funny?"
"Yeah, I think it's a cute movie. It stars Jane Powell and Howard Keel. Do you remember Miss Ellie's second husband on Dallas? That's Howard Keel."
Christy sat silently in front of my cabinet, smiling. Finally, she said, "Umm, no I don't remember Dallas. I'm mean, I know who JR Ewing is, but that's about it. Sorry."
I stood there thinking, How can you not remember Dallas?? Then it occured to me ... it's because, in the words of my kind and generous sister, I'm an old fart!
