Marshall and the Movies

March 7, 2004.

Do you remember the day?  My parents made sure that I did.

I was dying to see the new movie “Hidalgo” with Viggo Mortensen.  I had begged and begged all weekend to no avail.  On Sunday afternoon, they gave me a slight glimmer of hope: a maybe.  But, as I know now, when thing seem to good to be true, that’s because they are.  They ended up saying “no,” and I whined and complained.  They replied, “Are you always going to remember today as the day I didn’t get to see ‘Hidalgo’?”  And I said, “Yes, I will.”

And I still do.
