"... you gotta be a *moron* to wanna be a fighter," said Rocky to Adrian, after she asked why he wants to fight.
Well, the moron (Stallone) in the movie Rocky held Steve, Mal, and me captivated last night. Last night, the three of us (and hundreds more) gathered for the final movie shown in the Screen on the Green series. There were many great lines and moments in the movie. having seen it before, it was completely different as I sat, picnic style, among many other "Washingtonians". There's nothing quite like an erruption of applause during a scene that pricks the human spirit (ex. the moment where Rocky finally wins Adrian's heart or when he celebrates his training achievement at the top of Phillie's Museum of Art's steps). Good times!
Tonight's agenda: Mal and I are taking in the Atlanta Braves vs. the Washington Nationals game. Mal scored two free tickets at work today. Plans are to grab dinner at home and then make our way to the stadium (a mere ten blocks away). Look for us on TV. :)
