Part I
I went out last night, Saturday October 8, 2005, to see the new movie, "In Her Shoes". It was excellent. Here's the account of how things went.
Normally I work 10 hours on Saturdays. It's no problem, and I do it by choice. This week I'd done most of my Saturday hours earlier, so I only needed to work 4. Following work, I created a packing list, and packed things to go to a hotel. Tracy doesn't want me leaving the house or returning en femme, so she allows that once a month I can go to a hotel for an evening. It works fine. Packing takes an hour, as I've become VERY efficient at it. Both Tracy and Alice were away, so discretion wasn't an issue; I didn't need to hide things from young eyes.
Originally I figured I go see the movie, "Serenity". While it had all of the elements of what should be a movie I'd enjoy, it didn't pique my interest. I saw a listing for "In Her Shoes", and thought of the possibilities, knowing it was probably just another boring movie. Then I read the description. It fit. I'd go see that.
I left the house around 2PM to first get a bottle of champagne for afterwards, and then go to the hotel. I thought I'd also go around the mall to try and find the best parking in case I attended a late showing. That was a total mistake. The mall just recently expanded, adding restaurants, a food court, movie theatres, and lots of shops. Getting around the Tysons Corner area yesterday seemed as it might on the day before Christmas. Problem is that the hotel is next door to the mall, so the traffic was unavoidable.
