Greetings,

We've passed the summer solstice -- the longest day of the year - so we begin the slow journey toward to the cooler season as we pass the end of June.

July 4th won't be the same this year. But few things are as the once were -- in our slow and steady recovery back to normal.

Virtual Screening Room - Yourself And Yours
A pleasing puzzle full of mistaken identity, excessive drinking and lots of he-said, she-said.

In a relationship, how important is it to know everything? https://cinemaguild.vhx.tv/checkout/yourself-and-yours-coral-gables-art-cinema/purchase
