In a recent walk to the train, I noticed a flier in a store window, advertising a free screening of The Muppet Movie to be held on June 26th at Ehlert Park in Brookfield .<\/p>\n

It had been ages since I had seen it, but I remember loving it. I learned later that T__ had never seen it.<\/p>\n

I wanted to do a little family outing with everyone, and T__ was agreeable about it, so we got some snacks and water together and headed over to Ehlert at around sunset.<\/p>\n

I took a frisbee and a ball, played a little with the boys. My daughter just sat in a chair, hanging out with her mom.<\/p>\n

While we were waiting for the movie to start, I took a couple cheesy, pretentious photos.<\/p>\n

When I noticed this aircraft in the sky, it was right next to the moon, and seemed to be headed straight up into space. I honestly thought it might be a rocket. But, it wasn’t. Probably a jet. It had a weird reddish cast to it — not sure if it was really that color, or if was reflecting the color of the setting sun.
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, I took a picture of the moon, too. Happy?
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The movie finally started around 9pm (the days *are* pretty much at their longest around the solstice). Oh, what a treat. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I genuinely laughed out loud nine or ten times. There were great cameos I had forgotten about, wonderful lines (Fozzie repeatedly saying “Waka waka waka!”, Beaker saying “Sadly temporary”, pretty much anything Animal said, etc.) Such a great movie.<\/p>\n

I’m sure he has mentioned the origin of his blog title before, but I was happily surprised when Mel Brooks spoke of performing a Electronic Cerebrectomy<\/a> on Kermit.<\/p>\n

The movie ended at around 11pm. Two of our kids made it all the way through. Our youngest gave into sleep and some cozy blankets we had brought along.<\/p>\n

I know things aren’t the best for me or my family right now, but it’s nice we can still have moments like this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
