What If I Said It?
Afternoon watch, 3 bells (1:30 pm)

We went to dinner last night with Ellie and Gwen (Ellie's daughter). Ellie's husband Wade was using our 'net connection at home to teach an online seminar. Ellie, Gwen, and Lorien were waiting for me at the restaurant, and when I arrived I was sorely tempted to tell the hostess "I'm meeting my wives here for dinner" just to see what her reaction would be.

I resisted, but only barely.

Where The Wild Things Are

Forenoon watch, 5 bells (10:39 am)

Let me save you the trouble:
Boy throws snowballs at older sister's friends. Older sister's friends whitewash boy. Boy trashes sister's room, bites mom, runs away. Lives with socially maladjusted and emotionally crippled monsters for an indeterminate time.. Boy leaves monsters in the same state in which he found them. Boy returns home and eats chocolate cake.

PS Don't take your kids. I saw kids playing on the stairs during the movie. It didn't hold their attention very well.

PPS I fat-fingered the name of the movie on my iPhone yesterday, the typo was Where the Wild Thongs Are. I did catch it before posting, though.
