seven days in may movie

in the evening i made it back to the trylon cinema in minneapolis for the movie 'seven days in may'. usually my visits aren't this close, less than a week apart. but i looked at my schedule and said i had to go to an early screening this time. i had seen other movies starring burt lancaster and kirk douglas, including 'gunfight at the OK corral' and 'tough guys'. this helped with wanting to see this one. this was a thriller about trying to stop a military coup related to a nuclear treaty. one actor in a small role appeared to be john houseman, but when searching online it said he was 'uncredited'. one of many. i am aware of how it was based on a book and i had to search for mention of a general walker that was mentioned in the movie. there was such a person, and this was one of the inspirations of the book, 'false prophets'. i made it just minutes before the movie began, picked up my ticket and got a can of 7-up and some popcorn. then after the movie i made it to a walgreen and got a smoothie and a lunchable. it was a long day at work, as usual staying until the overnights were caught up. vacation replacement was in to see that all things were running well. at midday we went over to the mcdonald's to pick up his order from an app, i went along as he needed some help to carry things. there were four drinks, i got one of the two coffees, pumpkin spice. there were breaks on walk back to the office, mention of his knees. when we were at a bench about halfway it reminded me of a poem i read in school about 'old friends, old friends, sat on the bench like bookends'. when searching online what i found was a song by simon and garfunkel. then in front of the office, i was told to go inside with the drinks while he needed another break. i got some of the fries and the apple slices from the happy meal as well, i was thankful for those. there was a dial-in meeting in the afternoon with i.t. people, related to me reporting an error page from the check printer when it stopped printing in the morning. then i just decided to resume printing but had to request re-print of some checks. i didn't do much after the movie, i drove home from the walgreen and watched the news and that was about it. during my walks i found 1 dollar 25 cents.
