From the struggle of working from home to not being social, we are all going through this pandemic together. There is a lot to navigate during this strange time. Keep your brain sharp and busy during your free time with these ideas.
1. Have A Themed Movie Marathon Weekend
Watch all three of The Godfather movies over the weekend with a glorious Italian meal and delicious Italian wine. Watch one James Bond movie from each “era” of the different actors who played him while sipping on a martini. The list goes on! Pro tip: set up a projector in your backyard for an even more unique experience.
2. Read A Classic Novel
What makes a book a classic? Is it readability, the message, the author’s use of figurative language? Most experts and novices would agree on all of the above, but most importantly, does it stand the test of time? King Arthur and his Knights of the Roundtable appealed to the masses of the 12th century as well as to Guy Richie’s twenty-first-century audience with his movie remake of King Arthur.
