Side Trips<br />
It was a rare weekend evening and our<br />
daughter – a high school senior — was actually<br />
home with us. With the dreary winter<br />
weather, we decided it was a good night to<br />
watch a couple of movies<br />
in our theatre room<br />
in the basement.<br />
Our house had a<br />
home theatre when we<br />
purchased it more than<br />
a decade ago, but it was<br />
pretty bare bones. A<br />
white sheet served as<br />
the screen. Black fabric<br />
covered the ceiling and<br />
cement black walls.<br />
There were two exposed<br />
bulbs for lighting.<br />
A few years back my<br />
husband gave it an extensive upgrade. There<br />
are platforms to give the rows of seating different<br />
elevations. A suspended ceiling. Scones<br />
on the walls. Lighting zones with dimmers.<br />
Surround sound.<br />
And yet we’re surprised how seldom we use<br />
it.<br />
Jeff had been on an airplane earlier in the<br />
week, and had titles of two movies he thought<br />
would be good. We settled into our seats and<br />
waited for the first movie to start — a Tom<br />
Cruise film.<br />
Twenty minutes into it I realized our daughter<br />
was busy with her phone and paying no<br />
attention. An hour into it, she leaned over and<br />
whispered, “This is really boring.”<br />
But it was one of those movies that made<br />
you think, “Surely it will get better.”<br />
It never did, even though we endured the<br />
entire 115 minutes.<br />
Next up was a flick about an underdog<br />
college basketball team. That one was off to a<br />
much better start when I whispered to Katie,<br />
“Isn’t this one better?”<br />

Pretty sure she won’t decide to watch movies<br />
with us again anytime soon.<br />
