    I had the same issue and Harry Potter got me back reading again. Like you said, and easy, addicting read to get the juices flowing again.

    I like having a hottub as well, but that could be in a small backyard as well.

    Same. I watch my favorite shows every 5 years or so. Each time they move to a different streaming service and I got tired of it. I finally just bought them on Blu-ray/DVD and ripped them into Plex. Now I always know where they are. I also found that collecting movies/tv shows (especially rare ones) is almost as fun to me as watching them.

    Can’t wait to see who the breakout young players are this tournament. Dennis Rodman’s daughter is on the US team and she’s supposed to be great.

    I love this channel! So fascinating. Wish I had the time to build one of these myself.

    • Prince of Persia for me as well. When my dad and I installed it for the first time, we marveled at how lifelike the “little man” in the screen was.
    • Zelda was the first game I truly enjoyed playing and I have played almost every one since.
    • Also Rygar (on NES) obviously. Great game.

    It’s definitely the best way to do it. I get calls at work all the time without a number, or they say it too fast or unintelligibly, so I can’t call them back.

    I’m having a great time with the new Zelda. Taking my time and only about 3/4 through. I’ve pretty much played every single Zelda game created, and I always set aside time to do so even these days.
