Now Playing...

This may seem a stretch to some but I tend to associate everything to dates and numbers (though I hate math with a vengence.). On June 23, 1989 the first Batman movie was being released (starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson, as the Joker). I had every intention of being front and center on opening night but then something happened. Christopher was born (my first "nephew"). I had to wait to see the movie... it was a disappointment I was glad to overlook.

Our daughter shares Christopher's birthday. She shares something else with him. She has the dubious honor of being the reason I will miss opening night for Batman: The Dark Knight (starring Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger as the Joker). Obviously a disappointment I am happy to overlook as well but just found it interesting how my mind remembers things. Random but somehow not so much.

Here's a trailer to the movie. I may be a total geek but it gives me goosebumps:
