  The frau has the Amazon Prime and Netflix subscriptions which she watches every night 2 - 4 hours. I have over the air television and watch about 3 - 5 hours a week in 10 minute peeks at the local news. (With an unhealthy aversion to screens during off hours.)

  She would go to the movies once a week if able, I would go once a decade but only if dragged.

  Well not the panacea but when this Lab Rat was TA'ing (Writing, Art History, Geography) I deliberately made everything on-line. Assigned articles, provided scans of book chapters, and generally used solely "free" material.

Yeah a bunch of work for me but I thought that was the deal: I work and learn, they learn.
