People will come, Ray ...

Every year in April and then again in October Field of Dreams is played over and over on t.v. I've seen it nine million times and know a good chunk of the dialogue by heart. It's nearly 15 years old now and it still makes me laugh and, of course, cry like a baby every time. The first scene that gets me is when they pick up Archie Graham on the side of the road and Ray tells Terrence Mann how he quit playing catch with his dad. And then when Archie has to leave the field to save Karen. And then again OF COURSE when Ray finally gets the chance to play catch again with his dad. Tonight it's on TNT and is sponsored by Kleenex of all things. I *can't* watch the end of this movie before I go to bed or I will have a horrible headache in the morning from all the crying. I *should* be watching the actual ballgames.

I did two really slow runs on the trail today. I've been joking with my friends that I'm the Mayor of Town Lake. It's kinda nice to be able to go down there at almost any time and see people you know. Kinda like Cheers! I'll be back down there in 8 hours; it's a good thing I like it down there.

Omigod ... they're about to play catch. I'm gonna lose it, I think.

Would you believe I've never seen it? I'll have to rent it when Matt's out of town sometime... (I think he's seen it.)
