    Still reading the voter information pamphlet and filling out my ballot. Sending political comments to #sonTwo, because we can talk about such things without getting angry. ( #sonOne immediately wants to argue if one believes even the slightest bit differently than he does; #Daddy_A gets silent and stops talking to you ... sometimes for months ... when such topics come up. )

    #sonTwo's wife told me what she bought him for his birthday. I haven't even started looking for purchases related to adults' birthdays. I should look for a belated something for #sonOne first, though.

    Now that I'm back in #SoCal, #sonOne's wife's test results came back negative. Unless it's a false negative, she does not have #COVID-19.

    #sonOne only watches when he can be there in person, so I know he's not watching. We used to go to Dodger Stadium 3-4 times per year.

    By the time #sonTwo was old enough to do the trip, I was going less frequently, but we went to lots of minor league games.

    I don't recall taking #Daddy_A to a major league game, but we went to a few minor league games.

    Was able to #videochat with #sonOne, #GD1, #GD2 for about an hour and a half today on #Wire. He's been working 16 hours a day since June, but he got a week of vacation. It possibly means that he'll be unavailable again in a week, but I'll try to do #videochats with the kids.

    Was informed that #GD1 lost her phone. #GS1 likewise lost his phone, but found it and sent it to sonOne because it wasn't accepting a charge. Daughter-in-law will make the six hour round trip to deliver the now-working phone to her son.

    (Asked because both of them suddenly stopped responding to SMS.)

    I bought the Dora the Explorer toy guitar for #GD1 (currently 13 years old) when she was two years old. Naturally, I had no idea it was so loud when I bought it. #sonOne still reminds me that I bought the loudest noisemaker possible.

    @realcaseyrollins@counter.fedi.live was talking about "canon" in a movie series (Marvel / Spiderman). Not long ago, #sonOne was talking about how he only accepts the original Star Wars trilogy and the newer movies (not the prequels) as canon.

    Thinking about it, I don't know if "canon" is an adequate way to look at it. Each "universe" has multiple characters, each with their own unique point of view. Each character's POV will also change over time. So minor conflicts and sometimes even major conflicts between stories are consistent with telling each story from the POV of one character in said universe at a particular point in time.

    Missed #sonOne’s #videochat call today, so we still haven’t connected since June.

    I won’t get to see #sonOne or #GD2 near their birthdays this year, thanks to #COVID-19.

    #sonTwo has asked me to return later this year and again in the first quarter of next year. I'll try to come some time between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

    I'll need to rent a car that time, so I can zip up to see #sonOne and possibly #Daddy_A also.

    #sonOne wasn’t available for #videochat when I called today, but I know he’s been working 16 hours a day, six or seven days a week since June, so it is okay. I’m expecting to see him in person soon. I should also see #GD1 and #GD2. I really miss seeing them in video each week.

    Saw a big 48 pack of the brand of TP my mom likes, so I bought it.

    Also got Duplo blocks as my gift to #GS3 (like giant Lego blocks for younger children). #sonTwo and his wife are excited about my visit to #MO. They've already made plans for me to return in a couple of months.

    Let #sonOne know I'll be at his brother's place, three hours away. Now we'll have to schedule a day for him.

    #Daddy_A lives six hours away, and spent too much visiting #SoCal, so he's not coming to visit while I'm there.

    I'll be three hours away from #sonOne just a couple weeks before his birthday and #GD2's birthday. I won't have a car, though.

    Probably not #Amtrak either. They do go to #STL and KC, but nowhere else. #sonOne lives in the #KC area, but with his current work schedule, visiting at all is a hardship (and needing a ride to his brother’s place almost 3 hours away even more so).

    Tried to call #sonOne on #Wire, so we can resume the weekly #videochat, but he's been working around sixteen hours per day since June, so that was again unsuccessful.

    #sonOne sent me a picture of the two of us from when he was 14 or 15. I keep looking at it and wondering if we were ever that thin.

    I know he won't care, but I have to tell #sonOne that I cannot get him anything for his birthday.

    He's working around 80 hours per week and making more money than any of us have ever made, so I know 'more stuff' is the furthest thing from his mind.

    Just got a message from #sonOne explaining that he’s currently on double shifts and overnights, so he’s either been at work or asleep when I’ve called.

    After all the years that I worked full-time and went to college full-time (and often had a second part-time job), I’m not a fan of such schedules. They really do tear up relationships. I’ve pretty much always worked such schedules whenever the work was available, but “new Walt” says that except for very short-term conditions, once you pass working 60 hours per week, the boss should just hire more people ... the work is obviously available.

    Going to try to figure out a time to call #sonOne. Looks like the last #videochat was 2020-06-07. I'll also try to call #Daddy_A.
