An evening out

A quiet day yesterday, but in the late afternoon we went to St. Vital Centre to see "Guardians of the Galaxy: vol 2".  I thoroughly enjoyed the first one, even have the DVD, and this one was almost as good.  Even more explosions, and fewer confusing visits by confusing "gods" or generally evil beings,  (that sort of thing made very little sense in the first one, and I was really glad not to see more of it), but there was more gratuitous bullying and nasty-ness, that was a little disturbing. Behind us was an older man and a young child, even though the movie was not recommended for young children,  I had to wonder how that young fellow was experiencing what he was seeing.  I wondered if it was "grandpa", and grandson, and if Grandpa knew what he was getting into.The general theme of this one was "family", but in it's widest sense.  In one of the later scenes Dax, (a somewhat brutish, strangely coloured man) holding Baby Groot,who falls asleep on his shoulder.  Overkill, maybe at making the point that family is those we choose it to be? But overall, a neat way to spend the evening.

Today, The Geek Squad is finally coming to work on my computer.  He just called to say he's on the way, and he's coming from the shop at K.P., so maybe I better close David's computer down and get ready.
