Digital choirs, Learning Tai Chi, and the History of Bananas
In this week's episode, we discuss things that we are enjoying or trying to learn during the pandemic. The list is LONG, but somehow, in 30 minutes we cover the hope of seeing jobs posted, the book Caste by Isabel Wilkerson, learning the Ukulele (and singing Dolly Parton songs), Tai Chi and Tae Kwon Do, participating in digital choirs, and the history of bananas. Have we completely lost our minds by episode 30, or are we just finding sanity in the chaos?? You be the judge! As always, laughter is encouraged and reality is discussed on the Pandemic Professors!
