#sonOne is using the protests and riots and the police abuse that precipitated it to teach #GD1 and #GD2 about racial issues in the US as well as police brutality and authoritarianism.
-
Talked to #sonOne, #GD1, #GD2 for about an hour. #sonTwo is at work. About to call #Daddy_A.
-
During today's #videochat with #sonOne, we talked about network stuff (CLNS, IS-IS, OSPF, token ring, FDDI, the OSI protocol stack, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX), job-hunting, updates on #sonTwo's work status and #Daddy_A's birthday ( did I mention that "we" ordered his NAS box? ), vehicle repairs, Star Wars/Mandalorian, imported Japanese-market Transformers toys, and idiotic people whose behaviors are putting other people at risk for #COVID-19. Oh, and fried chicken places.
What did not happen:
Usually, #GD1 and #GD2 join us for 10-30 minutes; occasionally his wife joins us. Today, none of them joined.
-
Earlier I used the word "cumpipe", which is not part of my usual safe for work / family friendly vocabulary. I think the situation justifies it.
My overall goal is not to have to make any uncomfortable explanations should #GD2 or #Little_Boy_A start reading my posts.

Speaking of gardens, #sonOne bought strawberry plants. Strawberries 🍓 are #GD2’s favorite food. #sonTwo planted some veggies, but I’m not sure exactly what he planted. I have something like thirty packets of seed to plant ... and I’m way behind schedule, because it is already too warm for certain plants.
( #Daddy_A talked about a garden, but I have heard nothing more about it, so I’m not sure he actually did it. )
#sonTwo and #Daddy_A were still young and at home when I first planted a garden. They did not like the “doing work” aspect of it back then.
-
Not calling #sonOne today for our weekly #videochat because I want #GD1 and #GD2 to focus on their mom.

#GS3 got his hands on a ball-point pen, so he's got a home-made tattoo on his leg. He had to lift his leg and show his grandpa his work. He also drew on a piece of cardboard, which he also showed me. He really enjoys scribbling. We'll see if this leads to a long-term affection for writing / drawing / painting.
#sonTwo is getting fewer hours at $TEMP_JOB, so he's looking forward to more time to study. It looks like it may be June before $MAIN_EMPLOYER reopens and calls them back to work.
#sonOne is going to move one of the girls into the room the boys ( #GS1 and #GS2 ) just left. #GD1 and #GD2 will have their own rooms!

My 12 year old ( #GD1 ) and 8 year old ( #GD2 ) granddaughters were animated and playful today. I suppose it means they went to bed on time last night. They usually stay up late on Saturday and then are sluggish all day Sunday, which is when I have my weekly #videochat with them and their dad #sonOne.
-
I dearly love the videos, pictures, and videochats with #GS3, but I still feel like they're giving him too much screen time. None of us knew better when #GD1, #GD2, and #Little_Boy_A were little, so they spent hours each day in front of glowing rectangles. I wish this last grandchild to grow up acquainted with, but not engrossed in whatever's on the screen.
-
I expected #GD2 to call to tell me that she is NOT watching #Teletubbies, but she hasn't responded to my text message at all.
When 8 year olds don't correct what they know is untrue, what kind of a future does the world have?
-
Still trying to get #sonTwo and #Daddy_A together to test multipoint videochat and audiochat on #Wire, #Jitsi_Meet, #Nextcloud_Talk (whenever I get that one set up). So far, I have one-to-one chats with sonTwo plus his wife and #GS3 almost daily; one-to-one chats with #sonOne plus #GD1 and #GD2 (wife usually appears briefly) every week, and one-to-one chats with Daddy A plus wife, #Little_Boy_A, #Little_Boy_A2, #Little_Girl_A3 about 1-2 times per year.
-
Two hour videochat today with #sonOne and #GD2. #GD1 is sick. The younger one is bored, of course, because she's at home all the time. She's not getting to talk with her best friend much, because the parents have to call and then put the kids on the phone.
-
I’ll have to ask #sonOne to convert the .ipv file that #GD2 sent me into something viewable. I’m not seeing any Android software that can open it.
-
Today’s discussions:
* #sonTwo scrambling to find another job, plus complete some projects around the house (fencing the yard, making a vegetable garden).
* #sonOne’s job is very busy recently, so he hasn’t had time for much of anything; #GD1 and #GD2 begin online classes tomorrow.
* #Daddy_A was broke when the panic buying started, so he’s having to drive all over town to find food & supplies for the five of them.
* Mark (from $EMPLOYER) is working from his #hotel most days, but now thinks he may leave the assignment early and return to #SoCal because his mom is older.

... although my granddaughters ( #GD1 in middle school; #GD2 in elementary school ) were sent home with tablets to use in online classes beginning tomorrow. #MO #Missouri #COVID-19 #2019-nCoV

It’s been over a month since I have talked with #sonOne and #GD2, so today’s chat was particularly valuable. (I’ve talked with #GD1 a couple of times in that interval.) It’s usually only #Daddy_A that has such long interruptions in communication. (NOTE: this refers to audiochats, phone calls, videochats; even during quiet periods, we usually still communicate by SMS and text chat in Wire.)
-
Did not get through to either granddaughter (#GD1 and #GD2) today. Now I'm waiting for my videochat with #GS3 before his bedtime.
-
It has been a month since I’ve talked with #sonOne or his youngest daughter #GD2. I’m going to try to call her today. Or maybe I will call #GD1 and have her mention to her sister that we’ve been out of communication.
-
Mark is on the phone. I think I'm going to have to cut this short, because I'm still trying to have my weekly videochat with #sonOne / #GD1 / #GD2.

So, good morning, #TZAG. Happy Saturday!
I’ve already finished today’s #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ). Weight is down by about 0.6lb this morning.
#GD2 is likely still asleep (she gets to stay up late on Friday and Saturday nights), but #GD1 and I were talking about opossums and the beach.
