Sunday, May 1, 2005 -- Zach talked me into hitting a few balls to him on the high school field after lunch today. Then I drug him kicking a screaming (more like griping and whining) to see "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." I thought he might enjoy the movie since he actually read a chapter or two of the book a while back. But when Zach decides he isn't going to enjoy something there's not much to be done about it. I enjoyed the movie and even experienced a phenomenon more common back in Austin art house "theatres" where people laugh gratuitously at the not-all-that funny parts. It's sort of like saying "Look at me, I'm hip enough to get the obscure reference." Two thumbs up despite a few threads left hanging.
