Just seeing if anyone understood the comment.

I drank a lot and went out to bars and parties. Watched a lot of tv. Played a lot of basketball and softball. Nothing that you can’t do now, if there was no pandemic.

I collected and read a lot of books. Mostly fiction. I donated about 500 of them a few years back when moving. I miss going into a bookstore after the arrival of Audible and Kindle

Looked at MySpace, smoked weed out of apples
