42. not long after my parents split up

Tue May 23, 2017, 06:16 PM

May 2017

mom took me to the movies to see The Man With The Golden Gun.

Just me and her enjoying mindless entertainment. It was the first time in a long while we had a couple hours of peace. No fighting between mom and dad, my little brothers were at the baby-sitter, I got popcorn and Coke.

Pretty soon after that, step-asshole moved in and we never had that peace again.

But I'll always love Roger Moore's James Bond for bringing me that worry-free bubble of time. He'll always be my favorite Bond no matter how much I like all the rest of them (and I do - because that was my first Bond film and I have been hooked on them ever since.)
