Have you seen “Amsterdam?” | bleuwater
Yesterday we experienced programs to see the movie “Amsterdam” with our new friends who live close to the corner. Yes, they are California transplants, also. It appears our neighborhood bought loaded with us throughout COVID.
Our neighbors acquired the movie tickets and built reservations for dinner. I was seeking ahead to the motion picture simply because it stars Christian Bale and Margot Robbie. It’s directed by the exact guy (David O. Russell) who did “American Hustle” and “Silver Linings Playbook.” Also, we in no way go out on a weeknight, so this was unusually pleasurable for us.
My spouse obtained a text from our neighbor that his spouse got unwell and they would not be ready to go. They were being likely to the health care provider as an alternative. So they emailed us the electronic tickets. Then my husband experienced an appointment in Phoenix. I was likely to satisfy him at the motion pictures 30 minutes away. Then he texted me that he wouldn’t be capable to get away in time to make it to the movie.

The most careful plans sometimes do not succeed. It was probably already a
