- We talked about
this in March. It felt like one of those "be prepared
for the absolute worst" when we said it out loud:
"Cam, this may still be going on for your birthday
party."
-
- At the time
(literally like day 3 of the quarantine) I could
barely believe it... but ya know, science,
statistics... it was plausible enough to warn our
kids. I come to you today knowing 2020 is just
done and his NEXT BIRTHDAY (7.5) is now
maybe a reasonable time for him to have a
birthday party again.
-
- Wow.
-
- So our quaranteam
has been on hold for a month as they had to go to
several doctor appointments. We hope to see them again
on the 4th of July when their new 14-day quarantine is
up. In that time I've been talking to the parents of
Cam's best friend, Logan, about getting together and
it's been a long process. It's almost like an
interview process where you desperately try and find a
way to verify they are taking this seriously. They
both work from home and are in contact with elderly
relatives. BIG PLUS. So they consider their
action LITERALLY their relative's lives. Yay. They
know how serious we are, so we were able to pull off
Cam getting to see his best friend for his birthday
party. Felt like we had accomplished the
impossible.
-
-
- It's weird - a
play date is now the best party ever. Cam was
over-the-moon. Couldn't have been happier. We also
nailed it with all the presents this year and we can't
wait to help him put everything together. Strangely,
though it looks like all videogames in the video, all
of his gifts were craft-type stuff. Dominos, labo
kits, race car stuff... he's covered in the videogame
department. And of course, VR. He's so into it now.
It's been so absolutely wonderful to have
MULTI-PLAYER VR I'm close to getting a headset
for every member of the family. So much
fun.
-
- So there you are,
we pulled off 6.5. We actually did this on June 23rd
for documenting purposes, just wanted his song to come
first on The Journey. Man, what has this Journey
become now... this chronicle of activities during
quarantine... it's gotta be boring, right? Like -
once-in-a-lifetime type of boring, so ya gotta
document it - but holy shit. I miss
MAKING THINGS HAPPEN.
-
- That feeling of
course usually makes things happen...
