This past week, Karen, Adelle, and I made a “quick trip” down to L.A. By quick trip, I mean that we left on Tuesday morning and returned on Thursday evening. However, the drive each direction is 6 hours and is NOT quick…especially with a little girl that likes to scream when she’s “all done” riding in the car. Anyway, Karen’s sister and family who were in town for a business conference. Since it has been ~2 years since we saw them last, Karen was insistent that we go.
We stayed with Karen’s aunt that lives in ~10 miles north of L.A. and it is this aunt who bought a copy of BBC series “Cranford” for Karen and her sister. Now, I’ve done many stupid things in my life, but the most recent blunder I made is giving Karen the choice of watching Cranford or going to sleep. Of course, we watched the movie…what woman could resist watching a sappy BBC movie similar to Pride and Prejudice just for some petty sleep? Unfortunately, we started watching at 11:45 PM. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to sleep until 2:00 AM. Unfortunately, Adelle likes to wake up at 7:00 AM. Unfortunately, there are another 4 HOURS LEFT OF THE MOVIE! AGH! To ensure that I am not the only man to suffer through the agony of watching such films, I have recommended the show to my sisters in hopes they will force their husbands to watch.
