The Joel/Tharp creation "Movin' Out" was a dull event when we sent to see the national tour at Playhouse Square on a recent Saturday night. Few of the numbers looked particularly challenging. Not to mention that the piano was over-amplified and distorted throughout. I think it would be much better as a straight-ahead Broadway musical. Tie the numbers together with dialog and let the cast sing too. It's just not something I would go to twice.
For twenty years I've faced a steep driveway apron at the home of my wife's aunt. Take it a little too fast, straight on, and I scrape the bottom of the car on the way up.
On one Saturday night while returning her aunt to her home, my wife breaks out with "Careful!" just as I line up with the driveway in a left hand turn. I'm so startled and worried that I might have missed seeing a car that I try to clear the street ASAP and scrape the bottom of the car on the apron (again). At this point my wife lets out with an "I told you so!". At which point I lose it and tell her there's no point in giving me a vague warning late and distracting me like that. Much less giving me a self-congratulatory "told you so".
How upset should a spouse get under these circumstances? And are such incidents a good reason to see a marriage counselor?
