I have finally reached the 250 mark of ushering at the performing arts center in town. (I just can usher as often as some of the retirees who have notched 400+ performances). This means I get offers of a free ticket if a show has extra seats available.

Congrats, John!

At the Washington Center for the Performing Arts, they've changed their volunteering gifts over the years, but currently (well, in the beforetimes), if we ushered for 20+ hours in a season, we'd get a certificate for one free ticket plus one half-price ticket. They can be used independently, so you could just get the one free ticket now and a half-price ticket for a different show. After that, you'd get something (I now forget what) at 120+ hours...and that's it. There are people here who also have volunteered 400+ hours in a season, but there's nothing after the 120+ hours.

Tuesday afternoon greetings! Not sure where the day has gone, but my craft corner is cleaned up a bit. My sister, niece, and I are doing 2 online crafty events the last 2 weekends of this month. The pre-event festivities begin tomorrow with unboxings of the parcels that have arrived and, miraculously, remained sealed. We'll unpack our boxes together (on Facebook) tomorrow morning for one event, then Thursday evening for the other.

I'll also add:

Amélie
Crazy Rich Asians
Groundhog Day
Singin' in the Rain
Some Like It Hot
Strictly Ballroom
The Wedding Singer (I prefer the musical)

As well as The Shop Around the Corner/In the Good Old Summertime/She Loves Me/You've Got Mail

I agree with all of these except for You've Got Mail which I liked but didn't love.

TOD 1:

The Philadelphia Story
It Happened One Night
Libeled Lady
Adam’s Rib
Annie Hall
Broadcast News
The Shop Around the Corner
Clueless
Pride and Prejudice
What’s Up, Doc?
A Perfect Couple
Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Another great list except for Broadcast News or A Perfect Couple which I don't remember.

I do not consider Breakfast at Tiffany's a comedy. Since it has been listed several times I am wondering what humor I missed, or don't remember.

Jane · « **Reply #69 on:** March 09, 2021, 02:11:34 PM »

If Breakfast at Tiffany's counts than I think Two for the Road should be included.

It is 65 degrees. I think I will sit on my front porch and watch for airplanes.

I dream of sitting in a rocker on a front porch with a clicker and counting the... ...somethings... going by.

Minnesota is opening up the vaccine criteria tomorrow to the point where I'd be eligible. Finding an appointment will be a challenge, I'm sure.

As I have to be on phones all the work day and so won't be able to endlessly refresh my computer screen.

TCB, I'm sorry your doctor retired. I can understand your sense of loss. Twenty-eight years is a long time! And he helped you through so much. Vibes your next doctor is a good one.

Still checking other sites on leather jackets. And I just ordered this.

It looks attractive. Is that a map in the lining? How handy! I hope it fits and you enjoy it for many years.

Here's what's left of the January 31st nor'easter on March 9th.

We're in the mid-50s today and tomorrow, then high-60s for a couple of days. That should all but take care of it.

Is that your driveway? Yikes!

THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER and ENCHANTED APRIL are among my favorites. But also a British show, RECKLESS (the one starring Robson Green and Francesca Annis), a very quirky romance.

Add me to the sleepless list. I ate something last night that didn't agree with me and it took several hours for my tummy to settle down. I didn't get to bed until 1:00, then woke up at 6:30. Ugh! I'm pretty wasted today.

I agree.

I always loved the vicious ones of the last four years, of course. But this one was almost a sleeper -- it's just purely hilarious...as I kept saying and LOLing throughout.

I also enjoyed the new RR video!

It is wonderful DR singdaw.

I counted six airplanes before I came inside. Lots of children riding their bicycles up and down the street.....some other kids playing basketball here and there.

It was nice to be outside.
