chan eil tubaistean ann

 
As I told the CVS clerk, Seventh Generation Disinfectant, in the lavender scent, is my very favorite and I have not seen any for this entire year.
I have looked for it in every store, every time I shop.
She told me she had just put it on the shelf last night.
I purchased the last two cans.
If I had come yesterday to Pooler,
I would not have found it out yet.
There are no accidents.
I'm glad I took a chance at the Royal for "Save Yourselves!", as it proved to be laugh-out-loud funny.
How refreshing for an end-of-the-world flick!
Mostly, it's because of this couple of thirty-somethings and their misadventures whilst trying to take a holiday in the woods...
the day before Tribble-like creatures invade, with their thirst for ethanol.
I know, sounds like frat boys gone wrong, don't they?
Most surprising to me was the complete and total lack of reference made to the Star Trek name of the aliens.
Wow, right?
The second most surprising thing about the movie?
The apparent shared fondness for an old Scottish actor.
While they are huddled for safety in the cabin, they're comforting each other by telling dad jokes.
No, seriously.
"What time will Sean Connery be at Wimbledon? "
 "Tennish."
 "What did Sean Connery say to the bearded hostage?"
 "Shave yourself."
Be sure to read those in your best brogue...
and maybe try out the post title, too.
There are no accidents.
 
Yes, I had popcorn at the cinema.
Yes, even though I had actually arrived early enough in Pooler to indulge in ceviche at Jalapenos prior to the movie.
Yes, yes, yes.
Remember, my comfort food is Mexican.
I had hoped to dine here when I met my first niece for lunch and a movie, but 'twas not to be.
We had Southwestern instead.
(smile!)
That was fine with me, as I am always more grateful for time with her than the choice of restaurant.
Today, though, was all about me -
and this place was where I chose to be, as I have time and again, and this meal was what I craved.
I was there too late for lunch crowds and too early for dinner diners - perfect.
Right place, right time.
i thank You, God.

Sir Sean Connery has died at the ripe old age of 90 years old.

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see that silly movie that had two jokes with him as its highlight.
What an interesting life the man had!
