Wow, am I missing you all A LOT right about now. Checking in from good ol' Woodstock, VT, where I have not seen anyone else but the other 5 members of my family for about 12 days now. This is the first time in a while all three of my brothers and I have been in the same household together, and it has definitely been a time. We've all been taking different measures to deal with the strangeness that is life in quarantine.
I have found a new love in making experimental gluten-free pancakes. So far coconut-apple-chocolate chip flavor has been the biggest hit. Sebastian has been creating some sick art. Gabriel has been playing the drums...a lot of drums... at all hours. And Mateo, who is 15, has decided to grow a full mustache and beard (Nick Gardner knows I support this choice).
This time has also helped me realize some truths of life:
1. Bananagrams is better than Anagrams. No question.
2. The Jumanji remake, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a solid, entertaining two hours. Would recommend. The sequel to this movie, Jumanji: The Next Level should never have happened.
3. The Weeknd's new album After Hours is good, but Trilogy and Kiss Land, and Beauty Behind the Madness are all still better.
4. There is no spring in Vermont. Only mud season.
5. Warm mud is better than freezing mud.
5. It is possible, even likely, to demolish 6 peanut butter jars in five days among a family of six.
Below are some photos from our last several weeks together...when we didn't know they would be our last several weeks together!
