The second season of the Simpsons is now available on DVD. If you have the means, I highly recommend it you pick it up.

Ben took me to Dairy Queen last night for a Peanut Buster Parfait. On the way home we saw a "chippy van" for sale (driveable concession stand). It was very nice and very decked out; they were asking $15,000. Still working on the research. Can't afford that much obviously. But the wheels in my head are turning everyday.

Working for other people gives me migraines. I am looking into the possibility of buying a food/concession cart and going into business for myself.
Also, I cannot live well without my YOGA practice. I have tried for the past several months, I am better with it than without.
See Sue take control of her destiny! Also in the works...debt free by 2003!

Ben and Sue co-comment on their matinee experience:
We went to see the Breakfast Club at the Laurelhurst, everything was perfect, a brat pack masterpiece on the big screen, until these two old biddies tottered into the theater. We knew they were trouble right from the start as they were compulsively verbalizing about where to sit and the benefits using the seat in front of them to get into their chosen seats and where to stow the walker. From the door into the theater to their seats was the most uncomfortable 15 minutes of the day, we were especially agitated when they parked themselves three empty rows ahead of us and continued to talk all the way through the trailers and credits.
Now it may occur to some of you that two 100-year-old women have no business seeing the Breakfast Club, it is, after all, about some mal-adjusted high school kids in the eighties, but you can't exactly decide who is into what and who will like this or that movie and you sure can't jump out of your seat and tell them they're in the wrong place, even though you want to. Maybe they thought it was the Joy Luck Club they were seeing, or perhaps, Breakfast at Tiffany's. They were clearly not in step with the rest of the audience of late twenty, early thirty somethings, who were so excited by the prospect of seeing Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy on the big screen again they couldn't concentrate on their concessions.
The movie starting didn't slow their conversation down one bit, they gabbed in quavering voices all the way through the first voice over of Brian reading the essay to Principal Verner and the shots of the interior of the high school and the character introductions. So after about 10 minutes of this crap, all the kids have all been dropped off for Saturday detention and it's becoming clear someone is going to have to say something. This guy gets up, a guy who clearly was a Teenager in the Eighties, possibly even an ex-member of Crowded House, walks over to them and says, "Excuse me, are you planning to talk through the entire movie?" (The least tactful way to phrase such a question, but in this case, entirely warranted) and they answer with murmurings of the "Well, I never..." and "we didn't realize anyone was paying attention to us" variety. This shut them up for at least the next twenty five minutes. They were shushed several more times, twice by one of the young women who works at the theater and was sitting in on the show.
