Nighttime Activities

                       

The Cinema Club here hosts movies every Tuesday in the DesertView theater.  This was our first time going to a movie here and it turned out to be quite fun.  We saw The Martian and loved it.  But you have to realize, this being a place for predominantly people over 75, we were just watching a DVD projected on the fairly large screen.  And the english subtitles were on for the english speaking movie.  Hearing problems, I imagine.  Still, a fun night.

                           

The monthly Bingo night.  This time we had 238 players, so you can imagine that my hopes of winning were low.  By the time we are on the 11th, and last, game my eyes start getting buggy.  One of our friends who sat with us did win the Blackout - $150.  We have one more chance which will be next month's night.

Recent Natural Experiences

Well the only wild animals we've seen lately are the Monday Night Bingo players.  All 197 of them.  I think our odds of winning the lottery were better than winning any of last night's 11 games.  But it was entertaining and there is a certain level of stress and excitement when playing Bingo.  It would have been more exciting if someone at our table (me) got to yell Bingo.  At least they served Mike & Ike's and watered down punch.
