During the holidays, when you run out of things to do, get depressed, or what ever, go to the movies. Starting christmas day in theaters everywhere, The movie, "Rumor has It," starring Jennifer Annison, is a must see.

It may shed some light on the school teachers that somehow, get involved in affairs with younger students. Ofcourse, it has another angle about family, mother, grandmother and daughter with a younger man. Plus, it gets you out of the house at a time when you can mingle with people. A theater setting can't be too bad and it's safe. Just don't leave food cooking on the stove.

I'm currently working on getting a small section of the seating areas in each of the theaters, set up to accomidate wheelchairs, powerchairs and scooters for the handicap personnel. Todays theaters has about 6 to 12 cinemas, most operated by the Hollywood cinema group.

Our city mayor was thumbs up, and got the ball rolling by talking with the military commanding general at Ft Hood to get a count on the number of soldiers being interested in such a change. With budgets and restraints, it's an up hill battle, but worthy of the need. Keeps me busy doing something good.

The city was successful in getting more handicap parking spaces allowed at our theater last year. Almost every day, all spaces are being used at every showing and there are 12 cinemas going all the time. Ask for the senior discount, if you qualify.

I think you will like King Kong, the first one was back in 1936, but it's 3 hours long, a long time to sit still. A little pricey, catch the early shows.

Whatever you do this holiday season, be safe, if you have elderly neighbors, check on them. On the news, a couple died in a house fire, started by an unattended fireplace overnight, while they slept. Their kids live in another town.
