Wakanda forever

Forgive me; It has been a few days since my last journal entry but, life takes precedent.
     Friday was a typical day, slow on the helpdesk all morning. after lunch none of my tickets were available, because they were filming near and in the gym. It was kind of embarrassing walking into the athletics office an seeing it converted to a police station.  I left early and relaxed. I did some research and read news about the students from the Shooting on Parkland Florida. those kids are amazing. I hope they keep their energy going, it will be a long battle for gun restrictions.
     Lori and Ari went into the city to participate in a movie Create-a-thon sponsored by AT&T.  Ari, my now 18 year old decided that she wanted to work on her own and stay in the city for the weekend.
I totally respect the supervision and people she was with. This turn of events while throwing me off my schedule for the weekend, allowed me to have my wife alone in our house without kids. Win-win.
     Saturday, we  woke up and decided to see Black Panther. so much for a leisurely morning. I was but excited and disappointed with how hard it was to find a showing that was not sold out, but we did.  Rushed breakfast, picked up Lori's car from the shop, and out to the theater.
     Black Panther was the greatest movie I have seen in a long time. As a storyteller it was masterful. the plot was layered and very consistently tight. The visuals were outstanding. the cultural representation was on point. I can't wait for Ari to see it. after the movies Lori and I had a great lunch\dinner at the River Mill. Then ran some errands.
     Sunday I made love with my wonderful wife and went to see our daughter's film. She had an amazing experience. she wrote and directed it. she also acted in it but not as the main character. Her team had turned it in late, so they were not eligible for any of the prizes and it was not shown during the presentation. It is titled "BE" It is very good and could've been a contender for the prize. Ari was not put out, she was in it for the experience. I am so proud of her.  All in all an empowering weekend.

Low point of the weekend: Friday sitting at the Desk in total boredom.
High point of the weekend: so many. spending quality time with Lori, seeing Black Panther, my daughter growing up and being more independent. Ari's film.  Best weekend in a long time.
What I learned: My daughter will be just fine
