Season of changes

-

It definitely feels like a season of change. We've had numerous protests throughout the country with calls for Police Reform and calling awareness for systemic racism within the Judicial system in the US.  It's encouraging to see the widespread and varied folks at the protests, but at the same time it's scary as hell because we are in the midst of the a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is still growing in the US and seems to be growing faster here than other parts of the world.  Is some of that appearance because have a more transparent government and press?  Or is just that we've done an incredibly shitty job job of protecting our selves and socially distancing.  I suspect its a combination of the two, but we are definitely doing a shitting job of protecting ourselves.  We are still staying home and minimizing our contacts with others.  We've not let our son start back soccer yet, but field space is getting hard to come by at the parks so we may star...

1 month into 2nd year; 2 weeks late on post

-
I'd planned to make my next update on 5/11, but I didn't. I was pretty overwhelmed by the response from my last post.  I shared the link on my personal FB page and also with my 9Round family.  The response was very positive, but like I said overwhelming.   Clearly my decision to keep the circle tight initially was a good one from my perspective.  I've never been great at accepting unsolicited advice no matter how well meant or proper it might be.

As yard season has kic...

Shelter in Place - 2020 on pause

-
Our spring has been paused due to the Corona Virus.  I've been WFH since 3/12 and the kids have been out of school since 3/16.  WFH will continue for the forseeable future and traditional school is canceled until mid may at the earliest.  Online school should start in earnest maybe next week. Work hasn't slowed down and really is going crazy due to the market panic due to businesses being closed for the virus.  It's not terrible where we are, but in parts of the country they are making plans for 4 people per ventilator and prepping hockey rinks for morgues.   It's most definitely SNAFU! I went the first week school was out and got a weight set for my son since it was clear all gyms were going to close.  Luckily we found a decent set on craigslist.  We've been working out at home, seems I've signed myself up for a HS weightlifting class.  9Round has closed but has started putting workouts online.  I've tried to keep doing them ...
