Slightly delayed

Amazon did not instantly deliver my Father’s Day gift. And then I needed time to build them. But the cars (Lambos) are really cool. And they go well with Robert’s Jags :)

My phone camera is having some trouble with the green of the Urus — it’s not as yellow as it looks.

Sadly, Robert will have to wait a couple weeks before he gets to see the Urus in person. He was here for the Huracán. But he and Sarah are off to Huntsville and Space Camp! Something Robert has been looking forward to for quite a while.

This time, we believe he’ll get to dive in the zero gravity training pool. Last time they did some work in the pool but on the surface. This time he has a scuba card. Should be lots of fun.

Fun Father’s Day
last update: 06/20 @ 23:15

While Sarah was representing the family in Connecticut for a wedding, Robert and I watched the F1 Grand Prix this morning. Then he had to go to Shocker: work!

First though, I unwrapped my big box of nothing: my Father’s Day pressie is delayed, but I expect it will be Lego Bricks.

Then I got out on the river and later Pocket and her friend came by for a friendly, well, actually, cutthroat game of Catan. (After a few laser tag games once Robert got off work.)

It was a lovely mellow day.

Storming the castle
last update: 06/14 @ 19:08

We missed doing this for Mother’s Day last month.

And with Robert now gainfully employed, he missed the trip yesterday.

But, Pocket one of the folks from the vaccination PoDs Sarah has been working since the vaccine became available, joined us this time.

The weather was pretty perfect. Plenty warm but with a brief bit of rain to keep it from getting too summer-time hot.

And most interesting: Pocket, (who’s real name is also Sarah with an H but adopted Pocket for… reasons) brought her foldable kayak.

She has an Oru Kayak.

It’s pretty cool: fits in the back of car, folds together in a couple minutes (gathering a crowd of interested onlookers), and works well.

Pocket was first across the river each way. I credited her longer boat with more of keel to track straighter and go faster. Sarah credited Pocket’s upper body strength as she is an avid rock climber.

It was fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

And if you’re interested, Fort Washington is back to firing off their cannon on the first Sunday of the month. Alas, yesterday was not the first in month so we missed it.

And so, a whole new era begins…

From Robert, “Ok I get off at 7”

He got an application at the local laser tag place last weekend.

Dropped off the application yesterday.

Went in this afternoon for his interview.

Started his first shift after the interview.

Our Robert is now gainfully employed!!!

Done with this

That’s 450 days of data. The 7 day moving average has been in the single digits for weeks now. I’m no longer obsessing. I think we’ve finally turned the corner and I’m looking forward to wider travel soon.

We are extremely lucky to not have had any close family or friends severely impacted. And now that we’re all fully vaccinated, we’re feeling pretty good about getting back to normal.

But I still wear a mask inside the PTO building when I’m not in my office (no longer required for fully vaccinated folks).
