   I can't wait! I had intended to try and drag the wife off to see it   
   tonight, as she was not scheduled to go in to work until noon   
   tomorrow. Damn my luck, the person who was scheduled for the 0530   
   shift begged her to trade with them so she had to hit the hay early,   
   but she said she would take a nap when she gets home tomorrow so that   
   we can go tomorrow night. All's well that ends well: I took advantage   
   of rare early evening here in No. FL to put some miles on my bike   
   instead, the opportunity for which has been sorely lacking (unless you   
   don't mind riding in a thunderstorm) for most of this summer.
