Obamas Read To Us
I, for one, am not even close to being tired of people I admire, enjoy, and/or am entertained by taking time out to read to us.

Staying away from friends and family is part of the difficulty faced right now by everyone staying home to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

The graphic novel Sweet Tooth is getting adapted by Netflix into an eight-episode series. The story, starring a part-deer part-boy character, will be produced by Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey and star Will Forte, James Brolin, Nonso Anozie, and Adeel Akhtar.
