73. Maybe we should turn some of our discussions into OPs.

We get on such interesting topics, it makes for a good conversation.

I was laid up before covid after some serious falls and broken bones.
(Osteoporosis). Then covid hit.

I have read Jane Austen more times than I can count.
Books upon books on various topics.
Watched every WWII movie ever made.
And watched all the submarine movies at least twice.
Then my favorite: British mysteries, FBI and police procedurals.

I had to start writing and posting online or my brain would go to mush.
