"Great. So now I live in Windsor."
My favorite group of cousins live in and around Windsor, New York. They weren't always my favorite; then I grew up and got some taste.
Before age and wisdom, when I was younger, I was a bit of a b*tch.
Hard to believe, I'm sure.
Mom, siblings, and I would travel north from Tampa to stop in small Pennsylvania and New York towns (Dunmore, Binghamton, Windsor, etc.) to visit relatives. These were *small towns* people - television and radio signals were weak, everyone knew everyone else, and no one knew what to make of a loud-mouthed, snotty kid from Florida.
I'd begin conversations with, "Last month on HBO...you have heard of HBO, right?"
Or, "I saw Violent Femmes last month in concert, they were great...you have heard of New Wave music, right? Or are you only allowed to listen to John Mellencamp around here?"
That sort of sh*t. It's a wonder they didn't disown me.
Fast forward a few decades and here I sit, in Colorado Springs of all places, trying to find a theatre showing SiCKO.
No. Such. Luck.
The nearest showing is Denver. Which means I officially live in a small town. The sticks. The boonies. Windsor.
Perhaps this is karma biting me on the ass. Or something.
Gonna go see Waitress instead.
And yes, I still hate it here.

Still in VERY limited release, Kate. 400+ theaters nationally. Try again next weekend. That or have Becky watch the kids and you and hubby take a drive to Denver (though I have no clue if it's showing THERE either).
I believe it's going to open in more theaters next weekend. Hope so. This should be mandatory viewing for everyone.
Went to Kimball's Twin Peak Theater (an independent oasis out here that serves beer and wine - big fan!) to catch Waitress and the manager said he hopes and is working toward showing SiCKO sometime soon.
And so I wait.
SICKO was pretty good. The wife and I enjoyed it. I'm sure you will too. It will be interesting to see how much money it made this weekend. I went to an early show on the first day in Seattle and there was a pretty decent crowd (about 70% full).
Box Office Mojo -- excellent for film nerds who check into weekly box office numbers -- reports Sicko had an OK weekend in it's first sorta-wide release. It took in roughly 4.5 million (from 441 screens). It had only been in limited release the week previous (I think just in NY).
I've lived six years in Colorado Springs and it isn't as bad as you think it is. You just have to look a little deeper to find the liberals. :)
Have you been to Olympic Training Center yet? Free to visit--short movie on the hour before a tour where you can learn about the Olympic sports that train there and, if you go during the week, you can see athletes training.
