excited to see a new film
(one of my favorite things to do)
i arrived precisely
at the designated time and place
(with time to meet up, buy tickets, grab a ‘movie-buttered’ popcorn, chatter a bit, and find our seats)
only to discover
that i had organized it so that
we were precisely
24 hours late for the show.
—
p.s. i really do make every effort to be on time for things
but this has also happened
with a holiday party i was really excited to attend
a few years back
is this a pattern? see below –
“nothing, of course, begins at the time you think it did.”

With all the appointments we make right on time in our lives, I think one could be allowed the occasional lateness. Now you make me feel like I have to keep one eye on the clock and the other on the calendar.

I just remember stepping on bubble gum. But then I haven’t been to a movie theater in almost 50 years.
You read that correctly.

Sorry you missed the movie. However, that is a humorous way to miss it and I can’t help but smile.
The quote is surprisingly insightful. Feels like it’s speaking to me.

Oh, goodness, I’m laughing because this day late for an event happened to us several years ago. We were a day late for a wedding reception. We rushed home from an out-of-town family reunion to make the informal reception at a farm. Problem was, the reception was the evening prior. Oops. The new bride and groom were very gracious and invited us to visit for awhile. We all laughed.

Made me grin! Didn’t happen (YET) to me but I just contacted a professional singer whose website I looked up as I was interested in one of the concerts to come. What did I see? None of the concerts to come but three ‘already done’ ones were noted (yesterday) with the dates November 5th and different places from where they took place during 2022. She was somewhat in a hurry too, it seemed. I’m sure to hear from her without delay….
I am a huge movie going fan too. It’s just so different to view something as an ‘outing’ instead of just playing Couch potato and watching on the iPad or computer…. (We don’t have TV). So, I am sorry for your missed film-outing…. But I’m also laughing at your failed control of times and dates.
