Some of the key events and stories discussed in the passages include James volunteering at an animal shelter after getting bored in retirement, Anna politely getting a refund from the dry cleaners after they didn't clean her suit properly, and Anna planning a surprise birthday party for Susan at the office.

After working for 30 years, James desired to retire. The first few weeks were fine as he relaxed and read, but after a month he started getting bored. He decided to volunteer at the local animal rescue center to have a scheduled activity each day and enjoyed working with the animals.

Anna noticed that the cleaners had not cleaned her suit properly after she paid. She politely brought this to their attention and requested a refund, though the cleaner refused at first.
