2023 Mileage: 762.1
I cut myself a break today, and just did a short slow ride while watching the first hour of the 1974 film The Great Gatsby. (This one stars Robert Redford in the title role, as opposed to the 2012 version with Leonardo DiCaprio.)
I'm somewhat confused as to how I saw it, however. This far predated the ability to see movies at home, of course, but it was released on March 29, 1974 ... a time at which I was away in northern Michigan at my boarding school, the Interlochen Arts Academy, in my junior year of high school. I can only suppose that I must have seen it when I came home for spring break .... but that, too, presents a conundrum, as we lived 20 miles from any city and thus never went to movies. I have no memory of going to the theater to see it ... but I know that I did so, as it confirmed my having read F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel.
Anyway, this gave me a ride of 14.7 virtual miles.
