One recent morning, I heard an AM radio talk show host say to his co-host, "I've been on a kick lately..."
I thought, "Oh, he's going to tell (his co-host) that he's making sourdough bread, reading an author whose work he doesn't know well, or listening to a band or artist whose music is largely unfamiliar to him."
Instead, the radio host continued, "I've been watching 'The Waltons...'"
I shared his co-host's surprise at that revelation. There's nothing wrong with "The Waltons" as binge watching fare. That's just not a sentence I'd ever guess would follow one's announcement of a kick. I suppose this ongoing pandemic has brought out unexpected layers in a lot of us, though.
