Day ThirtySeven: Honestly I shit you not, day 37... no hockey in Canada... and it started early today, 5:30 am... fumbled around for the cell phone to play video games... hey I didn't say it was a productive start. The wife had it, she was already playing video games... well I guess I know what woke me up. Not long after Heather left for work the boy came down and we cued up a bout of Minecraft, more new updates to the beta version (when the new version is released it's going to be impressive). In view of the current situation his request for a particular birthday gift seemed a reasonable venture... I signed him up for some ultimate game pass thing that gives him access to a huge library of games for his gaming console. <look for GoaliePow#5340> We got things sorted out, it resumed downloading games it had started months before when Melanie was helping get his game running at Christmas time. Not like Hockey being his only game was a bad thing, he really loves it... but if we are going to be trapped in our homes for another 3 years I might want to play something too... Today was also ham soup day. I cooked up the rest of the bones and scraplets of meat and made soup... we had cheese, some leftover veggies... Mmmm... there's not a lot better than creamy, cheesey, home made soup, tended to over the day, a little of this and a little of that added to taste... always full by the time it comes to eat but Meh... After lunch Lawson got 2WeeksOfEvenings working on his console and played with his friends for a bit before tuning in to his Live online Soccer training with one of the Coaches from the camp he normally attends in the summer. I think it wore him out a bit, he needed to hydrate to keep going. This is a small fish in a big pond year if they ever get to play (10 years old in the U12 division). Talk to my dad on the phone today about my last visit to Niagara in which we missed him... so we mostly talked about why we missed him which was because he wasn't there... off in Australia on a walk-about or something like that, I'd say more but if you want that story you should get it directly from him.  Apparently grandma's old folks home has a number of cases of the COVID19, she's still fine as long as she can figure out which device is the remote for the TV and which is the Phone, which is understandable at 103 years old or something like that... and maybe under the influence as well, pretty sure that was a little while after the liquor store delivery. Heather walked in the door and after finding out I spoke with my dad asked the typical girl questions, 'so what's new with your dad?' In man fashion I was able to summarize the 2 hour conversation... 'Oh not much.' (honestly 2 hours is nothing, most of his stories are told in great detail... 'in real time', 1/2 an hour in he was still telling me about the airport in Vancouver on the way to Australia), his stories are always epic... Having had the soup for lunch, boy opted for chicken, fries and another round of video games... Heather and I ate hot soup and watched some theater... We saved yesterday's National Theatre's presentation of Treasure Island for tonight. 2 Thumbs up, much better than last weeks bore-a-thon. Go look for it and watch it on YouTube, good for the whole family, it will only be available until next Wednesday so do it now... Oh good, she fell to sleep, I can have my cell phone back. LOL Good Night
