Main Street Drive-In, 1967

My girl and I just returned from a sun-baked cruise. My blog list is long, but it will have to wait.
After not seeing a newspaper in a week, I began my morning routine turning the pages. The Atlanta-Journal Constitution Living Section, is my number one piece. Hubby grabs the sports, and we throw out world news. (CNN covers that info) I love useless information, and its never useless!!! Page two, celebrity birthdays, Dustin Hoffman is 74!! I could read no more. I was frozen in time, at the Main Street Drive-In, with my high school love. The Graduate was the big movie out, and I was going with HIM!!!! He asked me if I had seen it, and of course I lied. I had viewed the movie twice by our date, drooling with my girlfriends over Dustin Hoffman, and seeing sex on the big screen, Huge!!!! I was so excited to finally get to make-out with HIM, little did I care what was playing. We sat close to each other, both of us young and nervous. OK, he was nervous, I was about to eat him up, when Dustin Hoffman came onto the screen. I lost myself, AGAIN, to his sweet innocent self. This was one of the most important dates of my life, I was a young girl in love, and we were at the drive-in!!! The speaker crackled on the window, and my heart sunk!!! I'm in love with two people, one in this old black car and one in the movie, what was I suppose to do??? Kiss and watch the movie, it can be done. Sweet memories, came rushing toward me this morning, with the thought, Dustin Hoffman is how old??? The Graduate will always remain one of my all time favorite movies, and that night at the Drive-In on Main Street, I'm still thinking about it forty years later. Here's to you Mrs. Robinson, Happy Birthday Dusty.
