Well, here we go again. As Tropical Storm/possible Category 1 Hurricane "Ernesto" barrels north toward the middle of the state, Central Florida braces for a hit from Mother Nature Wednesday afternoon sometime. Both of my kids' schools have closed up shop for the day (following the lead of the Orange County School Board), and we'll have to see how it affects people's moviegoing habits--might just be a little quiet for a change at LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE if Enzian's able to keep its lights on. Ironically, tonight was the rain date for last week's cancelled outdoor screening of MY GIRL as the inaugural film in Sanford's "Cinema in the Park" series. Looks like the celebration may have to wait for September...

The gas tank is filled, I've got plenty of water, and we'll all just "hunker down" for a day if that's what it takes. Lord knows we can certainly use the rain (as long as it's not accompanied by flying objects and power outages).

California! Here we come!
