"I like the idea of driving 50 miles to see a movie...that makes for a long date, though;-) "

LOL... since our 40th anniversary is this year... we actually go to watch the movie....

but western NY is rural & as the crow flies doesn't work with all these long Finger Lakes in the way.... so it's a 50 mile one way trip just to attend a sing around or concert, if not longer.   at least I can afford the gas... that hasn't always been the case.
