The Best Medication

The dollar theatre is a magical place.

For either a little over or a little under a dollar, depending on when you go, you can escape reality for a few hours. My custom is to sneak in outside food in my overlarge purse/bag: Peanut M&M's, apples, French fries, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, whatever is desired. This weekend, the choice was a bag of mini Butterfingers and Kettle Barbeque chips. My friend and I were having a rough couple of days and Saturday was the peak of our pain. “The Blind Side,” along with the crunch of the chips and candy bars, medicated our aches as best as we could have hoped. I even took a therapeutic power nap on my friend’s shoulder during the movie.

Never mind that when we arrived, we walked from our car through the cold into the theatre and when the movie was out, the cold air had escalated into a snowy blizzard. We hate the snow.

Back to reality.
