Their answers included: - “I bought an Xbox after 13 years. Working on getting the old Halo gang together.” - “Reading, cleaning and organizing my house, making things more cozy since I’m spending a lot more time here. Talking on the phone and texting to maintain some connection with people.” - “I’m doing all the little tasks one never has time for like sharpening knives, washing the reusable shopping bags, cleaning out closets, etc., so I feel super accomplished! And keeps me from watching the pandemic coverage all day.” - “Get a group video chat together and play the online version of Code Names at horsepaste.com!” - “I’m a teacher, so I’m both planning and teaching 6th grade English and home schooling 2nd and 5th grades.
