Yesterday morning we slept late, and then we decided to go see “Gravity” at the imax theater at noon. When we got there, though, we learned that the theater had canceled the noon showing to do some kind of maintenance. So we went to get some lunch, and then we wandered Ikea for awhile. We bought one small package of cookies, which makes that the least-expensive outing to Ikea we’ve ever made.

After that we trekked back to the theater and watched “Gravity” in 3D on the giant imax screen. I don’t usually watch movies in 3D because they make me feel queasy, but the 3Ding in this one was pretty subtle and I felt fine after the movie. Except that it cemented my resolve to never, ever go to space. That was tense, man.

After the movie we drove back to Rockford’s parents’ house, where kid hugs and dinner awaited. And then we drove home, put the kids to bed, ate Lucky Charms and watched “Elementary.” It was a mighty fine day.
