A "Bernice Day"

Yesterday was a day for me.  I had decided to have a day that was relaxing and fun.   So, I packed my bag for a day in the outdoors.  First of all I had  lunch at Rito's, an Italian Bakery and Deli.  The sandwich I ordered had two kinds of meat,  marinated egg plant and then Italian Dressing was poured over all.  Quite unusual in that the bottom of the bun was completely soaked .  Dessert was Tiramisu .

Next I drove to the Hinckley Metropark which is part of the greater Cleveland Metropark system. This is one of favorite as you see the lake from all the trails. At the first entrance there were large orange cones in front of the drive.  The second was the same with a police car there.  I drove to the third.  After seeing the cones I Googled "Why is Hinckley park closed"  Seems it was closed for wildlife management, but they were also working on the trails. I went to Plan B which was to find another of the Metropark locations,where I walked three miles.  Although nothing is green yet, I find beauty in just looking at the mosaic of the fallen trees.


Next I went to a theater to see the movie "Little Women". 


This a view of the theater when I walked in.  I was the only person there.  Three women joined be later.  Usually there 15 minutes of advertising for upcoming movies.  The last on was Dr.  Dolittle.  After about ten minutes of watching  what we thought were the previews of Dr. Dolittle one of the ladies said I thought this was to be Little Women.  As it turns out, the computer was showing the wrong movie. They could not change it so I was given a ticket for the mix up, but didn't have time to wait for Little Women.  So I watched Dr. Dolittle.  It is a fun movie for kids, but I enjoyed it again as the only person in the theater.

I take it that the lack of people in the theater relates to the coronavirus situation?

I'm glad you could just roll work things when things kept going wrong.

Whenever I used to go to movies on a weekday afternoon, the room would be largely empty. It's nice not to be annoyed by other patrons talking, but you laugh more when other people are laughing.
