January seemed to be on cruise-control here at our home. All is good health-wise and no major COVID-19 impacts. One super great blessing is that Christy's school where she teaches has been able to hold classes since September with no major issues.
The attack on the Capital was horrific. It is shocking to me that so many in the Senate and the House are so supportive of the Cult of Trump. I'm not confident much will change with the impending Impeachment #2.
The kids are back in school, and we are back to juggling spaces, times for video calls, etc. But we are getting pretty good at that!
LOOK FORWARD TO
Conrad is turning twenty-two this month and seems to be enjoying SDSU. He and a friend did a fun video recently called "The Shed" (YouTube)!
It looks like Christy and I are going to be headed back to The Oaks (our photos from our 1st trip) in April which should be a great retreat as we celebrate our 27th Wedding Anniversary.
I am going to be Dungeon Mastering (DMing) for my Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) group two little side adventures over the next month or so. One is an "epic" battle and another is going to be a "snatch-&-grab."
