<p>Trying to keep certain threads from getting more off track than they already were & combining them into one!
Cheap & Entertaining!
:wink:
Don’t have a theatre sized screen, but just enjoyed watching *Mongol * on the laptop.
It was the sort of story that you really wanted to know what happens next.</p>

<p>I also have been watching The Wire ( still on 2nd season) that has some characters that I want to slap around but has stories that are interesting and ongoing, without dragging them on too long ( so far). It apparently is Obama’s favorite show & I had never heard of it ( not having cable), but I thought it might appeal to me being I agree with him on so many other issues.</p>

<p>Other than that , not so much entertainment.</p>

<p>I did spend $15 tickets to a fundraiser for a foster care support agency ( and since I know the exec director- it will be fun to catch up- even if Mike McCready wasn’t playing lol)
my H is not a planner & the only time we go out is when we have tickets- otherwise something always comes up. You should have seen him when the Drs wanted to transfer me to another hospital when I was pregnant without having to go in an ambulance- it took him * hours*.</p>

<p>I really miss going to the theatre- I think I may try and find small companies that sound interesting- & have cheap tickets, we used to have season tickets to the Seattle Childrens theatre- which was very good- ( I also miss seeing the productions at the kids schools)</p>

<p>I think they need student discount for 50 year olds.

<p>Nothing is cheaper than bird watching. I have a huge pair of binoculars and I can watch all kinds of birds upclose in my backyard. It’s also one of Hank Paulson’s favorite activity and he is the one that can afford the Rolex.</p>

<p>I know a pair of little old ladies who go to all the art openings in the county. Free food and wine and nice art.</p>

<p>You could probably go to all the local high school performances. We have dozens in our county.</p>

<p>In NYC some museums are pay what you wish and/or have free hours.</p>

<p>I definitely think parents of college students need a discount. </p>

<p>I didn’t even get the bumper sticker that says “My kid and my money go to NYU”</p>
