Date Night at the Drive-In

Earlier this week we had a "cultural" date night.  While that was fun and educational, this past weekend we decided to ramp up the fun quotient for our dates beyond a lecture at the library.  We went on more of a "throw-back" date.  One of my co-workers had mentioned going to a drive-in theater that weekend.  I have always want to go to a drive-in but have never go yet and it is definitely on my bucket list.  We started the evening with hamburgers and shakes at a restaurant called Bogey's after the actor Humphrey Bogart and has lots of movie decor.  After a few other shopping stops we drove down several back country roads to get the the drive-in.  It was a beautiful night for a drive and everything still looks so green for this time of summer thanks to all the recent rain (sorry to the farmers who are trying to get wheat out of the fields).  We really enjoy taking drives together (we must be a little old fashioned at heart) and on this drive we discussed the details of the NBA collective bargain agreement that determines salary caps, etc.  Lets just say I really enjoyed looking out the window.  We got there about an hour before show time but enjoyed the cool evening watching other families with kids running around, listening to fun oldies music, sitting and chatting or reading while we waited.  The movie playing was How To Train Your Dragon 2.  This is a little bit of a joke in our home because at work I use dictation software for all my paperwork that is called Dragon.  I spend quite a bit of time trying to train my dragon to type what I say and Dragon and I am constantly at odds.  One day started out with me trying to get Dragon to type my name but it put "Lower than Scum, PT" instead-- that day went downhill from there.  Anyway, the dragons in the movie seemed much easier to train.  It was such a fun experience to watch a movie under the stars with the love of my life.  Omnia Vincit Amor.
