my wife and i have been married almost 30yrs. this was our first date movie christmas 1979. people often ask why did we go out on christmas day. we were in the gas station business back then so we were closed that day. we even sold valvoline just like nathan did,anyways it always has special meaning. people always said she looked like bernadette peters too.! i guess i am one lucky jerk.

Mine and my husbands first movie too! When we bought our first home, the new phone books arrived soon enough for him to shout "I'M SOMEBODY!!" For our new neighbors to hear! If only they knew our retirement plans include Nussbaum Café lol.
