This year I watched over 223 movies but mostly it was ones I never saw before on my Vudu/Fandango, regardless of the year. So I didn’t see as many movies from 2024 since I was catching up from other years. This year I scaled back a bit on ReadJunk and focused on my photography business which I hope does even better in 2025! I still made time for concerts though! Some good albums came out which you can see below.
