The hits just keep on coming...

I have observed that events of similar a similar type appear to happen in groups. Whether it is the mindset triggered by the initial event that brings about subsequent events is a matter open for debate. In short, life kicks you when you are down. It's nothing to cry or be sad about instead it is a merely a fact to be accepted. Life has been hectic lately as I had mentioned in an early post. Arguably the best times to post seem to those in which we have the least amount of time to do so. My wife and I joined our friends to watch the new Wolverine movie this weekend. Overall the movie was enjoyable but it felt as though it were missing "something" to really push it over the top. I had to laugh to myself at the theater. Somehow I managed to pick a seat behind a very tall woman who's stature was only surpassed by that of her hair. If anything excited happened in the center of the screen I dare say I may have missed it. I wasn't upset as much as I was amused. I observed my surrounding and took note that for the most part every single row in front of us was occupied by children with a sprinkling of short to average height parents. It was only about the middle of the movie when I had a disturbing revelation. There are many times that my mind will notice something and yet somehow not make me instantly aware. It is only later when the event is brought to my attention that I realize I have really been aware of it for quite sometime. In this particular case it was coughing. It sounds trivial I know but this was no ordinary coughing. In spurts fits of coughing would begin with a one or two movie patrons and then spread rapidly until it seemed to reach a crescendo and then cease all together. It was one of these coughing fits that caught my attention and subsequently opened my eyes to the realization of how long it had been going on. I had to chuckle once more as my mind wandered to the topic of Swine Flu. Don't think me the paranoid type for I am not. In all honestly I don't keep up with the news that often and the fact that I am even aware of the Swine Flu at all is in large part due to my wife's efforts ensure at least up to date on current events. I found myself thinking back to several Zombie and Sci Fi movies. Outbreaks and infections, avoiding public places and large groups of people. The most common infection points tend to be airports, churches, and movies and here I sat.
