Good idea.
One of the benefits of birthdays is that eventually one reaches a point where things are CHEAPER - SOME things.
I now qualify for 'senior' prices for certain things - movies for one. I suspect the CNE tickets might also qualify.
The humorous thing is that people could do it 'way earlier - when the majority of salespeople at the movies for example are in their teens, anyone over 30 is ancient - AS IF they're going to ask "Could I see your ID please?" LOL
I love the CNE. One of the things that makes me saddest about my daughter's environmental illness is that we used to go to the CNE together every year. That's totally impossible now. We love the air show. I especially LOVE the enormous fighter jet that ZOOOOOMMMMMSSSSS deafeningly low overhead then soars straight up into the sky until it's invisible. I just love that. I love when it flies overhead & you can FEEL the very atoms of the air vibrating!!!!! I can't imagine flying one of those things. I think I'd love it - not bombing anything of course, but just that incredible power!!!!!
I wanted to ask you if you're having any beneficial results from the Chinese medicine?
I hope so.
