My favorite movie theater, Alamo Drafthouse, is opening a new site in southwest Austin. The Slaughter Lane venue is opening March 3rd and the grand opening celebration is March 22nd.

For the grand opening, they are showing one of my favorite movies, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, accompanied by a special spaghetti meal.

I was so excited about having The Good, The Bad and The Ugly on the big screen again! But it’s showing at 7:00 p.m., as in at night and that’s way too late for me. The movie is 171 minutes long and that is (calculator time here) almost 3 hours!

I’d love to see The Good, The Bad and The Ugly at 7:00 a.m. Sure, I’d eat spaghetti for breakfast for that. (However, an afternoon time would really be great.)

I’ll just have to see Blondie, Angel Eyes and Tuco some other time.

Here’s where I like to indulge myself: in the batik section of my favorite quilt fabric shop, B&B Quilting and Gifts in Buda, Texas. When I win the lotto (by either finding the winning ticket on the ground or someone leaving it on the windshield my vehicle), I’m going to walk into the shop and say, “I’ll take one yard of every bolt!”

That’ll be the day.

It’s funny how the 5-pound weights are always available when I’m at the gym.

Actually, if you look closely, you can see that I’ve added the tiny 2.5-pound weights on the ends. I’m actually up to 7.5 pounds. Oh, yeah, that’s what I’m talkin’ about! Breathe in, breathe out and lift!

Mine! All mine!
