Orlando, Florida
45-55F, sunny (with no wind the weather was more tolerable)
Last night TK came to the realization that he forgot his BP medication...Early this morning he called our doctor who said he would call a pharmacy in Orlando. First thing we did today was travel to the nearby Walgreen's. Prescription received. Yes! They did not have the medicadtion. No! But they called another Walgreen's and voila, we could buy it there. By the way, the pharmacist said the prescription would cost $140. What?!?? Then he said the other Walgreen's would have a coupon so it would cost $70. OK. We will deal with that.
TK located an outlet mall with his phone last night, even more upscale, so we headed there. Exercise on another cool day! Before noon we decided to head for Disney Springs, formerly known as Downtown Disney. That is a nice area and one can feel the Disney magic with free parking and no admission fee. Restaurants and shops, boutiques, and novelty shops.
The movie GLASS
Since it was cool weather, we decided to try a movie at the Disney AMC theater/dining experience. This may be the last time TK ever gets to choose a movie. I was thinking Oscar candidate movie choice, he was not. His choice was Glass, with Bruce Willis, James McAvoy, and Samuel L. Jackson. I knew nothing about the movie, he told me it was a thriller. Not quite. Three main characters, each of whom thinks he is a super hero. Psychiatric examinations. Heroes and villains have weaknesses. Kidnapping. Murder. Doctor who allegedly wants to help them. Sympathetic family members. This movie was probably not nominated for any Academy awards, but since its release on January 18th, it has stayed on top of the box office charts. But most of all, it is the SEQUEL to two other movies, Unbreakable (2000) and Split (2016). So we jumped in on the 3rd movie of a three part series. Aargh.
On the other hand, it was our first time in a dining experience movie, but we opted for just popcorn and soda. $25/for 2 for the movie and $20 for the soda/popcorn. The theater was comfy and warm.
The movie BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY
This is a little detour, but the last movie we saw was Bohemian Rhapsody. I loved that movie. I had no idea how much I liked Queen and their music. Learning their story was a bonus. I have been playing music by Queen ever since, and so has TK.
We had dinner after the movie at the House of Blues, a fine burger, and TK had a Cobb salad. Even though there were many changes in Disney Springs, I was reflecting on our trip to Disney World with Son R, C, and B2. Years earlier we went to DW with Son B, D, and B1. I am so glad that we were able to make both those trips. I also thought of the time I was there for an NCTE national conference when Friend H and I were giving a presentation on the Medal of Honor national curriculum with Jack Jacobs, MOH recipient. Lots of good Disney memories.

After checking out the Star Wars shop (I guess this is going to be a bonus year for R and B), we headed to Ghirardelli's for a delicious hot fudge sundae. B1 works at Romolo Chocolates in Erie, and I bet theirs is better. I need to try one!

(Note: we had to pay outright because he had already had a prescription filled in Erie-insurance won't pay twice in one month!)
TK's Takes: He was prepared to pay top dollar for the BP med.
