Doin' the Mess Around

 

I was listening to the oldies station this evening and the song ‘Doin’ the Mess Around’ came on…and I had an immediate flashback to one of our fun movies from years ago…Trains, Planes and Automobiles. 

There’s a scene in the movie when John Candy is driving a car with Steve Martin asleep in the passenger seat. That song comes on the radio and Candy proceeds to play along with the music and the car driving gets a little crazy. 

For Cindy & me, there were many funny scenes in the movie and we had a great weekend watching it multiple times. This was back in the day when you rented a VHS movie at a rental place and brought the movie home to put in your VCR. 

Cindy and I watched it and thought it was hilariously funny. We then invited our neighbors over to watch it with us and we all belly laughed. The next day we drove to Vincennes for the weekend and had Cindy’s parents watch it with us. Then Cindy’s brother and his wife came over and we all watched it again. 

Cindy & I got to the point we were laughing at the scenes in the movie but also laughing at the reactions of our neighbors and family as they watched it too. 

We sure got our money’s worth on that rental. I think we eventually bought a copy and have watched it a number of times since then and still laugh. 

REMEMBER: 
Take pride in how far you have come and faith in how far you can go. 

Be talkin’ to ya.
