$\"\"$ Have you been spending more time at home? Well, you should be, there IS a pandemic going on after all. I should be using this time to accomplish loads of things, but honestly, I\u2019m not. Sure, some people are learning new skills, or getting shape, but there is nothing wrong with just maintaining. That\u2019s pretty much what I do\u2026. maintain.<\/p>\n

An odd, but welcome development is that I have been all about watching documentaries. In a world of limitless new entertainment content, for some reason I have settled on this. I have been watching loads of them, from various streaming services. In case you have been looking for a diversion from your usual entertainment I thought I would highlight the tons of documentaries I have been watching.<\/p>\n
