Day 170: Night Game

Day 170: Night Game

Back in the old, normal days, Wednesdays were dubbed "Wacky Wednesdays" at Amelia's school. That's a fun, whimsical way of saying that the kids got out early on those days, so the parents would have to pick them up around 1pm. Wacky indeed.Continuing in something of...

Day 169: What’s In a Name?

Day 169: What’s In a Name?

Isolation is hard on everyone. COVID concerns keeping friends and family separated can have all kinds of impacts on the mental health and overall mood of people. Anyone who has been mostly cooped up, lo, these many months, can certainly attest to that.In general,...

Day 168: Gut Feeling

Day 168: Gut Feeling

Monday kicked off busy and the day seemed to fly by. It was a beautiful, almost fall-like morning, so I got out for a quick run and then got to work. The morning whisked by in a blur, and then I headed out to run a few errands. We had gone to Grnadma and Pop...

Day 167: Sunday Run-Day

Day 167: Sunday Run-Day

Quick post tonight, recapping Sunday for us. It was a nice morning and after a busy week, where mornings seemed to whip on by, I took advantage of a rare slow-moving morning to go out for a morning run. The kids definitely needed some fresh air, so I took them with...

Day 166: New Wheels

For a moment, I have to set aside all the insanity about COVID and everything else going on in the world and just be a parent for a moment.On Thursday, our little girl started second grade. SECOND GRADE. I'm sure parents everywhere feel a little disoriented when their...

Day 163: Henry Cam

Day 163: Henry Cam

Nothing I could write about my day on Wednesday, which was pretty lame even for a Wednesday, could match the story told by what I discovered on my phone late last night.We had a rather informal "dinner" kind of night, and the kids were eating some various leftovers...

Day 162: School Prep

Day 162: School Prep

Tuesday was a super-mega-blur of back-to-reality-ness. I was back at work and everyone was back to busying around in the normal vibe. That amps up an extra notch this week because Amelia starts her first day of second grade on Thursday.A virtual first day, but a first...

Day 161: Zoom with a View

Day 161: Zoom with a View

Monday morning, we woke up to one last morning in Avon. I have to say that pulling open the curtains and starting the day to this view is something a person could get used to.We were heading back later that day. I had some work to do in the morning, and a presentation...
