I woke up this morning and realized that I'd forgotten to post the Tuesday and Wednesday schedules last week, when a flight cancellation meant I'd be in an airport all Sunday night. To anyone who was expecting to see the Tuesday and Wednesday schedules, I apologize. To those who didn't even notice, carry on.

(6,346 posts)Life intervenes. And if we didn't have "a life", we wouldn't know enough to truly appreciate the classic films we all love!
