Some Things Never Get Old

---

This old gal…

Had a near collision…by the checkout in HyVee…crazy cart driver me…stopped short…with no warning…poor worker behind me…about biffed it…couldn’t help it…it was impulse…20
year old inside me…frozen in place…making eyes…at that wonder of all wonders…Indiana Jones…

I love Indiana Jones…she tells the baffled worker…saw the first movies in the theater…had a giant poster of him back in the day…I think I might just need to buy…that People Magazine…and so she did…the Hy Vee worker saying he heard it was a good movie…and so it was…this Indiana Jones lover me dragging that husband of mine to the just before bedtime matinee…

The crazy chase scenes…Indiana Jones…his hat…his whip…his subtle sarcastic dialogue…the first time the theme song filled the theater…this old gal got goosebumps…her eyes welled...Indiana Jones…hobbling…moving slow…Indiana Jones…looking old…tired…but forty years in the blink of an eye…has nothing…on determination…humor…wit…

Indiana Jones in the theater with popcorn…
Some things…never…get old…

And that husband of mine…agrees…
