#21: Read an additional 20 books As I make my way through the Pulitzer Prize winning, Middlesex, quarantine has provided lots of time to read. Here’s six more I’ve knocked out. Station Eleven was great, but her most recent novel, The Glass House was a mediocre story. Sea Wife, 28 Summers, Missing You and Pretty Things were all highly enjoyable.

Happy Birthday, Mama

Happy Father’s Day, Pa

Going stir crazy, we built our own mini restaurant.

We’re now selling Covid 19 tests. Strange. Brit had a horrible respiratory virus in January, but she just negative for short and long term anti bodies.

In anticipation of pigging out over Father’s Day Weekend, I submit today’s weigh in. A ten year low.

My gramps is looking down on Hemingway.

Forced Savings

American Express Spending Chart April 1st thru May 31st 2019 April 1st thru May 31st 2020 Last year we spent $10,411 at restaurants in April and May.  For the same period this year we spent $809. Silver linings.  

Happy 80th, Aunt Ona!

Our supper club hosted a virtual wine tasting with Three Sticks winery in Sonoma and a paella dinner.

Although it may not be the best year to graduate high school, I have never met anyone who looks back fondly on those three hours in the sun waiting for their name to be called. Silver linings dude.

Middle school graduation in the age of Corona. Congrats guys.

The gift that keeps on giving.
