In spite of the social distance, we’ve been good. I honestly feel like the time together and light on sports and activities has brought us closer together. As a family we’ve been having fun and playing games and doing a bunch of random stuff together. Tonight we have half the kids with us and we are having a fire and playing Goldeneye outside on an outdoor screen setup I put together. Should be a really good time.
The news out of several outlets suggests that not all couples have been this fortunate. Divorce rates are on the rise. There have been multiple murders. Meanwhile we’ve been pretty cool. No more disagreements than usual and the one on one time is extremely healthy for us.
It has been a different way of living, and one I am pretty happy to continue. Just as I am fully in the groove of this thing I hear that several states are designing plans to come out of it. Yes, I knew we needed to get back to normal eventually. In truth, I miss the football, but nothing else.
Not even the NFL–that youth stuff where you get to cheer on your kids.
Some Thoughts:
- I’ve avoided paying too much attention to the internet challenges, which were clearly spawned from game challenges. At this point the two work together to create scenarios where people watch others try to complete game challenges on their net feeds. They also make up a bunch of challenges.
- Turns out one of my kids might be a big deal discord social influencer. Dope. Way to go, boyo.
- Meanwhile in Minecraft I’ve been working with the Beta and leaving behind the wonderful world I created on the realms servers (doesn’t work for beta). I like this new world project, because it is just one epic house. That’s all I’m trying to do here. One house with a few villages nearby to trade. I’ll likely build out above and below ground options for travel.
- This is what happens when I have time on my hands. This… not writing… this.
