I take Margie to town and into the movie theatre

As I have noted in recent entries, each day since my return from Barrow I have taken Margie out to eat drive-through fast food from inside the car. She did not leave the house the entire nine or ten days that I was in Barrow, and prior to that, the only time she had left since February 2 was when I took her into the Alaska Native Medical Center to get new X-rays and a new cast.

So I had to get her out of the house and fast food is how I did it. Take the above shot, for example. It is from yesterday, when we went to A&W-KFC, where I bought hamburgers for both of us. Margie is not being rude by sitting in the back seat. She is not mad at me. 

She can't sit in the front, because she needs the entire back seat to stretch her unbendable leg out.

Today, I not only got her out of the house, but out of the car and into a real, sit-down cafe - Cafe' Europa, in Anchorage, to be precise. This happened because I had follow-up appointment with Dr. Duddy. Margie agreed to come with me, and to see how it would be to go a movie. "I will have to sit up front," she said. As it turned out, Dr. Duddy had to do emergency surgery today and so he cancelled the appointment. I wonder how many appointments he had to cancel the two times when he had to perform emergency surgery on me?

I took Margie to town anyway. 

After Cafe' Europa, we headed over to Century 16. We had planned to see "Gran Torino," starring Clint Eastwood, but we spent too much time eating and it had already begun, but "Taken," starring Liam Neeson, was about to begin, so we saw that instead.

I took this picture while we watched the previews, ate popcorn and drank bottled water.

As for "Taken," I don't know - lot of action and one does get the satisfaction of watching Neeson's character kill a few score of bad guys, but the subject (stealing people's teenage daughters and selling them into sexual slavery) could have used more serious treatment than just bash in his head and shoot him dead, I think.
