What do you miss most from pre-quarantine life?
I miss going to the movies...I'm not sure if movies in the theater will ever be the same, given how profitable direct to streaming has been (e.g. Trolls 2, which netted Universal more money in 19 days than the original did in its entire theatrical run of 5 months). I have 2 home theater setups (one indoors and one outdoors) with projectors and 100+ inch screens and Dolby atmos surround in each, but there is still something magical about watching movies in the theater.
I also miss restaurants. I love cooking, but not every meal every day. Delivery is a nice break, but I like sitting in a restaurant, and having someone else cook and do the dishes.
I miss many things, but by far the biggest is being able to go the gym. Working out is one of the key ways I stay sane, especially after working behind a computer screen day-in day-out. I miss going swimming (only pool around here is at the gym), I miss going to the movies, I miss people being upbeat, and mostly I miss seeing my family and being able to give everyone a hug!
