This is not a problem for us. We can't even get the kids to socialize with us in person. What is hard for us is not going shopping regularly; the grocery store shelves are empty, I can't just go to Lowe's for supplies, that's all crazy.
I will share a couple of pictures from before the pandemic took over.

| I'm standing on top of a quad bunk bed setup that I built. I was taller than the power line into the house! |
 |
| Got a night out at the coast with the family |
 |
| It was a really fun trip |
 |
| I had a sunset picture featured on the local news! |
 |
| proper social distancing |
 |
| Lena had her teeth pulled |
 |
| then got braces! |
 |
| They both have braces right there! |
 |
| Got everybody hanging out on the porch |
 |
| then Lena got blue hair!? what is that? |
 |
| I had a gray beard |
 |
| And then there was none. I never realized how much I touch my face. This was instant regret, I started growing it back 3 days later |
 |
| Ella's smile |
 |
| Now with less metal! Her braces are off! |
Stay safe out there. There's a lot of scary stuff with the coronavirus right now. Controlling the spread is the key. How long do you think it will last? The hardest part for me is not being able to plan or travel. Here's an idea. I finish grad school on Oct 4, and there is a marathon in Kona, HI on Nov 7. Since the airline industry is in the toilet right now flights are actually affordable - around $400 compared to the $1400 flights that I usually find. I think a week in Hawaii and a marathon is a fantastic way to celebrate finishing the MBA than with a week in paradise. Does this seem rational at all?
