Movies Watched
Driven - I learned about Delorean from a weird history channel, so watched the movie. It was very good.
Fast X - The only real reason to watch was for Jason Momoa. I can’t believe this has ballooned into a trilogy!
TV Shows Watched
Human Target S1-2
Comments - Well June did not go as planned. I started out strong but a massive medical issue hit me about halfway through and curtailed our activities. I managed to listen to some audiobooks toward the end of the month keeping my reading totals up. Just could not use my eyes for much of anything. Here’s hoping July is kinder to me.
