Let's Go Out
While we enjoyed life in our home - cooking something good to eat, reading aloud, watching Netflix DVDs - we loved to go out and take in everything around us; movies, concerts, plays ... so many special days and nights. Donna saved ticket stubs and memorabilia from our outings. I've collected some of them in this album. Here's a sample of what can be found there.
This was one of our first nights out. Such a wonderful memory. February 17, 1989.
Movies were at the top of our list when we decided to go out. This Sunday matinee was a special event. On February 7, 1993, the University of Chicago screened a restored version of D.W. Griffith's 1916 film, "Intolerance." The University Symphony Orchestra provided accompaniment for this silent film. The Chicago Reader's Jonathan Rosenbaum writes about it here
Martin Amis was a favorite author. We often read aloud his books to each other. We seldom passed up an opportunity to see him when he visited Chicago. On April 29, 1991 at Barbara's Bookstore Mr. Amis read from his latest novel, London Fields. Afterward he answered questions, including one from Donna.
What an amazing collection of so many special moments and incredible outings! And all captured here. It's overwhelming to view so many ticket stubs by themselves, let alone all of these comments as well. This is something to be cherished and read slowly, savoring every moment. Thank you so much Mike for this labor of love! Kate
