23. One of my favorite things about the place I live

Dec 2020

Is a nice dining movie theater nearby. When I moved in I looked forward to weekly movies in retirement, and travel. That was 16 months ago.
Oh well.
Had six months to unpack, settle in, and see just a couple movies before pandemic hit.
Trivial inconvenience. But my favorite lost luxury.
