Footloose

I just watched the last 30 minutes of Footloose - one of my all-time favorite movies when I was a kid. I wanted my life to be just like that movie. I guess I still kind of do. Homebaked pies, dresses with too many ruffles and every ounce of everyone's energy is spent on a dance where they hang tinfoil stars from the ceiling and drop glitter. In the end, the parents stand in a green field in the dark, listening to the distant music, wondering at their children growing, the world changing, and hang on to eachother like it was the first day.
