A night out with my girls

Holly, Joanne and I went out last night for dinner and a movie. Ryan decided that he want to go so he stayed home and was a stick in the mud.

We headed to Chesterfield and ate dinner at the Red Robin

, and then off to Wehrenberg's Galaxy 14 to see Disney's Christmas Carol IN 3D

We were to see th7:00pm show, but we were early, and the manager allowed us to hit the 6:30 show instead.

The previews were cool in the 3d especially Alice in Wonderland, and Toy Story 3D.

The Movie : Good, great visuals, and true to the story, but short so it didn't dig in deep to the story.

The dinner : Very Good

The Company : Excellent.

Stories, Legends, and Myths

When something happens within the family, or better yet at a family gathering it becomes a family "Story". It will be told over and over and over again. The "Story" will remain exactly as it happened when it is told among that generation.

As we tell that "Story" over and over and over and over again for more than ten years it becomes a family "Legend". It becomes a "Legend" as it has now been passed on to a new generation of the family to live and enjoy. The "Legends" sometimes get embellished to make them more appealing. The new generation will put their own angle on telling the Legend, but they will keep the "Legend" alive.

Upon the unfortunate demise of any family member involved with the incident or after 20 years, I believe the story then becomes "Mythical". This "Mythical" event will have more embellishments added in to it as most of the people who have heard about this event know it only second hand, and weren't there when it was just a "Story".
