Mary's Magical Ticket
By ice rivers
For my birthday, my daughter Mary spent $30 on a deal that looked too good to be true. For the price of $30, I could go to as many first run films as I desired over the course of the following ninety days. We did the paperwork. We received the card in the mail. We took it to our local Regal theater and by God it worked. In this collection, I will endeavor to describe and document our use of that ticket over the next three months.
