It's a Sully Day

IT’S A SULLY DAY Packed in like tuna, full cigarette pack, times square on Christmas day. This, though, was the last man standing - dollar theater, showing "Sully", "Girl On The Train" and the "Secret Life of Pets". Squeezed next to a woman with a strong New "Yawk" accent. One gets to be friends in a tangled web of after-holiday cheer. Not FB friends, but definitely spotlight friends. Perhaps to be rekindled up in heaven one day. Oh, yeah, we’ll say, I remember Long Island. No names were presented, but she gifted us a spot ahead of her in line so we wouldn’t miss our movie. And the movie flies high on our list. Yup, you guessed it – Sully – a twist of truth and familiarity – near my hometown – along the Hudson. Spoiler alert – no one perishes! God figured 911 dished out way too many deaths. A perfect landing, albeit drowned cat wet and titanic cold. But those ferries and helicopters quick to action. Sully upon shoulders, three cheers, no dented buildings. All souls saved!

That was great Kim, a creative and descriptive piece of your holiday. You bring the reader to where you are(were) with your wonderful talent. I'd say this was a perfect landing as well.
