The moment is almost upon us!

Six hours till the lights dim and "The Dark Knight" rolls on the screen in front of me!  Today is going by soooooo sloooooowly……

I just want to see this movie! 

People have been sending me links to write-ups and reviews all day, and I'm ignoring them all for now.  I don't want to know anything ahead of time.  Just from seeing article headlines though, it seems like this film is going to be something special! 

All the excitement has me thinking back to a summer day in 1989 when me, Beil, Colby, my sister, and her friend Jen spent hours in line to see Tim Burton's "Batman" movie.  That was the "Summer of the Bat" and people were particularly into The Joker.  It's almost a repeat these days with everyone talking about Heath Ledger's sure-to-be-classic performance.  Tomorrow I'll have to scan in the picture from the Patriot of the group of us in line at the Hampden 8 Theatre.  The giant button on Colby's back and my home-made shorts are timeless!
