Movies with an Eclipse

We were going through a few ideas for eclipse-themed movies, and came up with a few.  Of course, you have to go with one of the versions of "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court."  We opted to put that one in tonight, and Madison enjoyed it.  It was the 1949 version with Bing Crosby in it, so it was light-hearted fun.  The eclipse itself happens at this crucial moment, and they did a good job with it, considering it was 1949.   For an older movie, Madison liked it a lot.  The popcorn bowl helped a lot though!

Tomorrow night's eclipse feature is "The Wild Thornberrys," which apparently features an eclipse as well.  Amusingly enough, there's an eclipse on Mustafar in the movie "Revenge of the Sith," which Madison hasn't seen yet.  And one more eclipse is seen in another variation of the Mark Twain story, "A Knight in Camelot."  We might see that one later on.

Anyway, this morning, Daddy had an endoscopy to figure out what's up at least with the esophagus.  Apparently, it swells up due to silent acid.  Which would be a great rock band name:  Silent Acid.  Anyway, we'll get some pills and get the esophagus healed up.  But our insurance doesn't cover the prescribed pills, so get this:  fourteen pills cost a whopping $200.59.  And that, my friends, pretty much covers what is wrong with the medical world today.  Because here's the thing:  we got another set of pills - generic ones - with the same properties even.  And these were $10.  Crazy, right?

Madison had a good day today.  It was school picture day, so she wanted to wear her "go-to" dress, one she likes very much.  She got home and was excited to go swimming or do tennis... but Daddy was still tired from the anesthesia.  So we went with the eclipse movie instead.

Anyway, anesthesia makes one sleepy.  Which is by design, of course.  So that's what we'll do here.  We read from our devotional, and continued hearing about Rendi and the moon that has disappeared. We'll be seeing the moon soon enough, I'm sure...
