this afternoon i went to see the movie 'sweetwater', the bio-pic about the basketball player. this was in inver grove heights. when i arrived i was a few minutes late but the movie hadn't started yet. the screen was stuck on a preview and there was no sound. i asked the other patron about it and was told they had let them know of the issues. eventually it was unstuck and there was sound. i did read a little about the movie's subject before i went to see it. and i am used to the disclaimer 'some scenes and characters were invented for dramatic effect'. i recognized jeremy piven, kevin pollak, and richard dreyfuss in it. the story was told in flashback on a cab ride to the airport. much of it was about his time with the harlem globetrotters. many of the games depicted, with the trotters or the knicks, were at madison square garden, except the arena looked awfully small. and there was mention of two other players who integrated the league, at a press conference. after the movie i went to the hy-vee liquor store and got another can of pirate water, so now four beers are waiting. and i picked up print-outs from the copy store, one of them being an event invite from facebook. i got farther along on tax forms, the property tax ones that is. the income tax forms have already been filed. noticed i still needed one more form so i will find it online and print it the next day. during my walks i found 92 cents.
