Handlung:
Der 70-jĂ€hrige Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) bemĂŒht sich intensiv darum - ohne seine verstorbene geliebte und vertraute LebensgefĂ€hrtin -, seinen Ruhestand mit den ĂŒblichen AltersaktivitĂ€ten auszufĂŒllen und dabei beglĂŒckt zu werden: Reisen, Joggen, Joga, Sprachenlernen, an Beerdigungen teilnehmen, Enkel hĂŒten, denen er zu viel ist, usw. Das gelingt ihm nicht und er fĂŒhlt sich leer ohne seine Frau, die das Leben trotz schwerem Leben leicht genommen hat. Er erfreut sich nĂ€mlich daran, ein Mitspieler zu sein, dazuzugehören, gebraucht zu sein und das Leben so mitzugestalten, dass alle aufeinander bezogen leben können.
Er meldet sich als Senior-Praktikant fĂŒr eine Resozialisierung bei einer erfolgreichen Mode-Website mit lauter jungen Menschen. Als alter Mann erscheint es so, dass er ein Hindernis bei der Firma und deren GrĂŒnderin und Chefin Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway) darstellt. Anfangs als altbackener Mensch mit Anzug und Krawatte sowie Unkenntnis von Computerprogrammen belĂ€chelt, der nicht zu der neuen Welt passt, bringt er sich nach und nach feinsinnig und sehr konstruktiv in das Betriebsgeschehen ein.
Er ist erfasst schnell die GefĂŒhlslage der Einzelnen, beobachtet genau und mit Sympathie, nĂ€hert sich behutsam an und hilft praktisch, ausgleichend und ohne moralische Beurteilung. Er ist sich nicht zu schade fĂŒr irgendeine sogenannt untere Arbeit, sondern packt zu, wo er andere erfreuen kann, ohne sie ins Defizit zu bringen. Seine warmherzige und umsichtige Herangehensweise ermöglicht es allen, sich entwickeln zu können und sich mit ihren Schwachpunkte nicht gedemĂŒtigt zu fĂŒhlen.
So berĂ€t er einen jĂŒngeren Mit-Praktikanten, wie er eine kleine Wohnung finden könnte, was nicht erfolgreich ist. Daraufhin lĂ€dt er ihn - ganz fĂŒrsorglich - als Mitbewohner zu sich ein.
Er legt einem Mitarbeiter unaufdringlich nahe, mit einer Freundin direkt zu sprechen anstatt ein sms zu schreiben, um dessen Fehltritt wieder einzurenken.
Er verhilft - zuvorkommend und achtsam - der ĂŒberforderten SekretĂ€rin dazu, sich helfen zu lassen, ohne sich entwertet zu fĂŒhlen.
Er begleitet die mutige Chefin der Firma, Jules, in allen Lebenslagen, stĂŒtzt sie vorausschauend in ihren grossen FĂ€higkeiten, die WĂŒnsche der Kunden entgegenzunehmen, und hĂ€lt sie taktvoll davon ab, einen GeschĂ€ftsleiter einzustellen, indem er ihre Selbstsicherheit stĂ€rkt und ihre Selbstzweifel sachte ausrĂ€umt, insbesondere dadurch, dass er besonnen jede kritische Ăusserung in ein aufbauendes Entgegenkommen umbaut. Sie fĂŒhlt sich von seiner warmherzigen und ausgeglichenen Art erfasst und bringt ihm immer mehr Vertrauen entgegen und bereichert sein Leben durch ihre zupackende Art und ihre WertschĂ€tzung seines achtsamen Umgangs. Sie konnte so auch ihr KindheitsgefĂŒhl ĂŒberwinden, dass sie mit ihrer Art nur aneckt und nicht genĂŒgt.
Im Film zeigt sich, dass eine erfolgreiche Frau mit Familie nicht beweisen muss, dass sie gut genug ist und deshalb die immensen Anforderungen alleine bewĂ€ltigen muss. Er steht ihr so ausdauernd und vorausschauend in kleinen Dingen zur Seite und ermöglicht ihr, dass sie sich entspannen kann und nicht ĂŒberfordert sein muss angesichts dieser vertrauensvollen, unaufgeregten und umsichtigen RĂŒckenstĂ€rkung. Die freundschaftliche gegenseitige Zuneigung entsteht nach und nach und macht das Leben fĂŒr beide und fĂŒr die ganze Firma immer frohgemuter.
Es zeigt sich wie so oft in unserer Kultur, dass sich Jules Mann als Hausmann und ehemals besser verdienend, der seine Arbeit aus Liebe zu ihr zugunsten von ihrer SelbstĂ€ndigkeit aufgegeben hat - ganz unbewusst - unwert fĂŒhlt und sein KleinheitsgefĂŒhl mit einer anderen Frau zu ĂŒberwinden versucht. Es gelingt ihnen jedoch, ihre Zugehörigkeit zueinander wieder aufleben zu lassen. Sie bringt zum Ausdruck, wie viel ihr eine innige Verbindung bedeutet und ihr Mann erkennt, dass ihn ein SchwĂ€chegefĂŒhl und vielleicht auch Eifersucht von seiner Frau weggetrieben hatte.
Im Film zeigt sich in allen Beziehungen, wie wir Menschen generell Freude am Leben entwickeln können, wenn wir fĂŒreinander empfinden können. VerstĂ€ndnis und freundschaftliche GefĂŒhle kommen dann auf, wenn wir uns erfasst fĂŒhlen und gleichwertig fĂŒreinander wichtig sind. Das gilt fĂŒr das Alter, den beruflichen Alltag genauso wie in Partnerschaften und in der Beziehung von Frau und Mann.

If the event will happen in more than 30 days, I haven't added the survey in the channel yet.
(Because message in a WhatsApp channel can be read by a new member only 30 days before he joins. But you can already enter the corresponding WhatsApp group)
If you are concerned about privacy, only the admin of a WhatsApp channel can see who has voted in a poll (unlike a WhatsApp group).
Please sign up only when you are certain!
You can also register through Meetup, as it helps build momentum; however, I rely only on the number of people who signed up through the WhatsApp survey.

BASEBALL IS BACK!! Clippers' Home Saturday Opener!!! âŸ đ§ą đ đ đ§š đ đœ đŠ
đșđž
**Summary**
Celebrate America's 250th year and the [Columbus Clippers'](https://www.milb.com/columbus) 50th season by watching [Franklin County's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_Clippers) best team play the [best game in the world](https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/babe_ruth_140116) at [one of the ten best](https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/minors/2025/03/26/huntington-park-voted-top-10-minor-league-ballparks-usa-today-10best-awards/82656048007/) baseball stadiums in the United States in their 2026 home Saturday opener!
The first pitch is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. The gates always open an hour before the scheduled first pitch. I'm usually at the ballpark a half an hour before the scheduled first pitch. Clippers' games usually last around two and a half hours.
Being a few minutes early will help us secure good seats.
**Parking**
I personally always like to park in the [McConnell Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/McConnell+Garage/@39.9685114,-83.0103938,17z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388f24145462d1:0x6238c0f0c851ab70!8m2!3d39.9692957!4d-83.0081175!16s%2Fg%2F1jkw6y27y?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTExNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). If nothing else is going on in the area, this should be $7. However, I've also seen it be as high as $22. I can't say for certain what it will be for this game, but once I know, I will post in the comments.
Alternately, there are other lots in the area you can try which will probably be a few dollars cheaper. [Here is a map](https://img.mlbstatic.com/milb-images/image/upload/q_auto/milb/ernng44ya2xkr4wbheql) of all the garages and lots surrounding the stadium. Keep in mind that many of these are outdoor lots and your car will be out in the elements.
If you decide to look for a different lot, I would mildly recommend either the Buggyworks Lot or the Broadbelt Lot, but I have never parked in either of these myself. Although it won't apply for this game, keep in mind that street parking is also free citywide in Columbus on [Sundays and holidays](https://www.columbus.gov/files/sharedassets/city/v/1/public-service/right-of-way-permit/on-street-parking-out-of-service-policy-and-procedure-final-8.15.2022-signed.pdf).
**Where We'll Be**
Here is a [map of the ballpark](https://img.mlbstatic.com/milb-images/image/upload/milb/qkqohbqjgtx5uwo6zkgn.pdf).
We'll be sitting on Level 3 of the [Left Field Building](https://www.milb.com/columbus/ballpark/huntington-park) (aka the "AEP Power Pavilion"), which features a 110 foot bar with six open patios overlooking the field. This area is covered and will be out of any sun or rain that may transpire.
If you enter the park through the Center Field Entrance (which is at the intersection of Nationwide Blvd. and Neil Ave.), there will be a door to your immediate right after you enter that leads to a staircase up into the Tower.
This door is not well-marked, and if you've never been to Huntington Park before, you may wonder if you're actually allowed to go in and up the stairs. Yes, you are.
We'll be on the Tower's "Level 3". I have uploaded to the Photos section of this event page, below, a picture of the sign you want look for after you ascend the stairs, so you'll know you're on the correct floor.
**Tickets**
Do not buy your tickets ahead of time. They will literally be twice as expensive if you buy them on Ticketmaster.
Instead, go to the ticket window near the Center Field Entrance. Buy a *Standing Room Only* ticket (don't worry, you won't be standing), which will cost you a flat $8 with no other taxes or fees.
These tickets never sell out, and this is the cheapest way to get into the park.
**Carry-Ins**
Per the team's [website](https://www.milb.com/columbus/ballpark/a-z-guide): "Soft-sided coolers are permitted in the general seating area [which is where we'll be], but not hard-sided coolers; also no alcohol, glass bottles, or cans will be permitted. SMALL bags or backpacks of food items and beverages in plastic bottles are ok. Reusable water bottles are permitted, but must be empty upon arrival. Diaper bags are allowed."
I always bring a disposable plastic bottle of water and refill it as I need at the park. Bottled water at the game is something like 4 or 5 dollars. So if you want a bottle of water, I recommend bringing your own bottle instead of buying it at the park.
**Food & Drink**
The area we'll be in has burgers, hot dogs, salads, soft pretzels, ice cream, and other sorts of things you would expect at a baseball game. I've posted pics of the menu in the Photos section, below.
The burger and fries are $14 plus tax, and they're not bad. (This is what I usually get.) The beer is *really* overpriced. It's like $9, or $20 for a pitcher. If there's some people to help me drink it, though, I'll buy a pitcher of Michelob Ultra.
While we'll be on the penultimate floor of the Tower, the top floor (which has a great view, but is fully exposed to the elements) has a [Dirty Frank's](https://dirtyfranks.com/) hot dog stand. I've never gotten anything from there, though I've been told it's good.
The Donatos pizza stand is also a very short walk away from where we'll be. I love Donatos, but the pizza is so expensive at the ballpark. It's like $9 for a personal-sized pepperoni. It is good, though.
**Peroration**
Let's (watch them) play ball!

Summer Social: Let's kick off summer with Adult field day at Shadybowl!
Weâre bringing back Adult Field Day.
Last year was a good mix of competition and just hanging out, so weâre doing it again with some new games mixed in. Think team-based challenges, simple races, and a few things inspired by game shows.
You donât need to be athletic. Most of the fun is just being part of a team and getting to know people you wouldnât normally talk to.
The goal isnât really winning. Itâs meeting people, laughing a bit, and leaving knowing a few more names than when you showed up.
If you stick around after, weâll have a potluck, a bonfire, and a couple comedians in the evening.
Bring:
* Something to share for the potluck
* Clothes you can move around in

Contra dance with Big Scioty April 11 - Clinton Heights Lutheran church
**Caller: Kim Thompson**
**Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra**
**Clinton Heights Lutheran Church**
**15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like youâve seen in period films such as âPride and Prejudiceâ, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. Thatâs English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like âswing your partnerâ and âdo-si-do,â like youâve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alĂĄ âRiverdance.â Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THATâs Contra Dancing!
Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.
Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/)
Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
Comedy Night + Open Mic (Bring Wine)
**Comedy Night + Open Mic + Freestyle**: Tristan Shae and friends return to entertain us and to warm the group up for our open mic session. February's Open Mic / Comedy Night was a smash hit and it's worth a second night.
We'll start with Tristan Shae and a couple of his friends. Tristan is an alternative comic from Columbus, Ohio. A counselor by day, Tristan explores how comedy can improve mental health by telling jokes and stories that muse on how absurd life can be from squeaky clean topics to not so clean ones. Tristan produces the variety show Cheaper Than Therapy, hosts the weekly Problem Child Alt Comedy Open Mic at The Attic, and can be found engaging in all sorts of silliness around the city from stand up shows at The Nest Theater, The Attic, or The Funny Bone, to improv and sketch shows with various groups at various venues such as The Hashtag Comedy Club.
**On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\.
**Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours.
**Glasses**: âŠwill be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, itâs still worth mentioning. We donât have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please donât mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
**After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still havenât had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Please join us.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.
Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***,
**Red 1 Realty**
