Too much TV and movies, for sure (curse you, Netflix, Prime, Disney+, YouTube Premium!), with a few books on the side - one of which I wrote. A few people like it, even, which is nice. Always happy to chat about it. Do write reviews, if you can. Good, middling or bad, I always appreciate that you took the time, even if you thought yours was wasted reading my little effort! Writing another, slooooowly. I really am.
