"What are those strange looking birds on those barren dusty hills, Grandma?"
"I don't know Gordy. Maybe if you had remembered to bring your electronic tablet, you could have looked them up. How can you learn anything if you don't have a gadget in your hand?"
You really don't need to change a thing, for at least a week! I mean, why would you? Doesn't everybody hang their art adjacent to their acoustic ceiling tiles?
The Valencia Resort in Goleta. It's not a real place, unfortunately. Although there is the Bacara Resort & Spa in Goleta, and the Rancho Valencia in Rancho Santa Fe not too far away. Both are very expensive, but I've been reading about making your goals a reality through the power of visualization. I keep trying to visualize these resorts, hoping to go someday, but unfortunately, my visualization always drifts to Hanna and Sean's honeymoon. I lose interest, really fast, and start visualizing the Goleta Jiffy Lube instead. It's one of the best.
The hand coming out of Sean's breast pocket is telling the hand coming out of Mary's belly to tell the hand in Hanna's salad to show a little class.
Despite how long this has gone on, I think they may have rushed into marriage. I wonder if Sean has even noticed her sideburns.
I don't know who is responsible for placing the flag at Office Marriage Bureau, but it doesn't go in the back of the room behind the door. That's just disrespectful.
You fools! Lucky Number 5 will never overpower the calamitous effects of getting married on Friday the 13th.
Is it his charming sense of humor or his inflatable head that Hanna finds most appealing?
It was inevitable that Sean and Hanna would spend their lives making comparisons to their first marriages. I just didn't expect it to start on the way to the alter.
"I remember my first wedding, it was in a beautiful church. I remember my first wedding cake, it was moist and chocolate. I remember my first wedding witness, she was really young." The comparisons continue for six whole years. That's how long they have to live right?
Hanna and Sean both look kind of embarrassed. As if they may have actually forgotten her, and had to turn around.
Speaking of embarrassed, the other day I saw my friend whose last name is Hastings and kept calling him Sean. His name is Todd.
Unfortunately, you need a license to get married, otherwise Joan the Waitress is an ordained minister and would be happy to perform the ceremony right now.
I've had a few friends who were widows and widowers. Remarrying is one of the greatest challenges of their lives. Not just the decision to remarry, but also understanding the fact that their new spouse is not a replacement for their deceased spouse... to say nothing about the challenge of being the new spouse. It can be a really difficult transition. Sometimes it hasn't worked; but sometimes, if they hang out for a few weeks at each others' apartment building, it can succeed gloriously!
"Heh heh heh... you joker... that's not important to me. Cough cough."
And... CURTAIN!
Now, let's not jump to conclusions. A lot of things happen at City Hall that these two could be happy about. They could just be happy that they don't need wheelchairs and can actually climb down the non-ADA-compliant stairs; although, by the looks of their footing, they may need wheelchairs soon.
I don't know what a bottle of "Spark" is, but I think we're getting subliminal messages here. Hanna and Sean just watched a sickening romantic movie "based on a book." Arguably, the most sickening romantic writer these days is Nicholas Sparks, who's book "Message in a Bottle" was adapted for the screen in 1999, starring Buttercup, Elliot Ness, Butch Cassidy, and Hagrid. I don't know... maybe it isn't sickening. I mean, according to Rotten Tomatoes, a staggering 32 percent of critics actually liked it.
I have no idea what movie they're seeing, but clearly it's a HUGE hit with the coveted 45-60 demographic!
When I Googled "movie with happy ending lifts us up takes us away," I got several listings for Blade Runner, which suits Sean just fine, but I'm not sure it is what Hanna had in mind. It's the classic chick flick dilemma. Sean will take her to see Mommy because he wants a goodnight kiss. But he may want to reconsider getting more serious unless he really likes boring movies.
