    #sonOne discussed the subject matter with both #GD1 and #GD2, then said they are free to read the book. No updates yet, but he expected the younger daughter to read it first.

    #Daddy_A reports that he had a reaction to some medication a few days ago and wanted to go to the hospital, but couldn't because his wife was already hospitalized and there was no one to take care of the kids.

    I asked #sonTwo to call him and find out what we can do to help, but apparently, he recovered without intervention. (I also mentioned that #sonOne is 2-3 hours away, which is about 3 hours closer than #sonTwo.)

    Anyway, he's better now and is repurposing a #Raspberry_Pi 3 that I sent for #A1 into a project combined with an #Arduino UNO R3.

    When #sonOne was here, two of the places we went had to do with Ghostbusters. We popped out of a subway station and walked around a corner to see the fire station, a real, working fire station with a Ghostbusters logo on the wall and on the fire truck. Then we had a bit of a walk from one spot and came upon the library. The library is also a real, working library, but has no GB logos visible.

    #sonOne sent me a .7z file of photos from our weekend. He says he's got them cycling on the display in the kitchen.

    I never saw Moonlighting, and I didn't see Die Hard until later, so the first I heard of Bruce Willis was when I took #sonOne (on our every Wednesday movie outing) to see a movie in which BW's character was a cop who got demoted to the river patrol who has to catch someone that keeps dumping bodies in the river.

    Memory of that movie has faded, but I think the killer turned out to be a cop and also the BW character's brother-in-law.

    This weekend, I had my regular #videochat with #sonTwo, #GS3, #GS4. The younger child had missed his nap, so he had gone to bed early. He heard Grandpa's voice and started crying until they brought him out to see me.

    He tried to give me his bottle, then raised his arms to say "pick me up". At one year old, he hasn't quite grasped that the person in the tablet screen cannot just step through the glass. He's quite sleepy, but I think he's going to resist sleep as long as he can.

    The three year old was repeating back everything I said, then he showed me his Spiderman toy and his book. Spiderman talks when you pull the string, so he got distracted with that and forgot about Grandpa until time to say goodnight.

    There must have been some TV show where a character speaks in a growling voice, because GS3 kept reverting to that voice.

    I did not have this week's call with #sonOne, #GD1, and #GD2. We'll have to try for next weekend.

    Gave #sonOne and #sonTwo my shopping list for whenever I'm able to visit. I don't expect to have more than one day with #Daddy_A unless he's able to meet at a central location.

    @geniusmusing It does. Especially since #Daddy_A had phone problems, so he never replied and didn't get into a videochat either. And #sonOne was working.

    1. NYPD, D.C. Police release images of man that may be connected to attacks on homeless in both cities
      As CBS2's Kevin Rincon reports, the NYPD is investigating the killing of a homeless man in Tribeca on Sunday, but it's unclear if it's related to Saturday's attacks.

    #sonOne is back at home. #sonTwo planned to have a #videochat before he left, so #GS3 can talk to his uncle, but it was okay because grandpa still got to talk to him.

    We had some discussion of trying to coordinate a family trip to #NYC so we can all see the city together.

    Also today, I drove to another office in #NYState. I don't know how far away #Quebec is, but I saw a school bus with its stop sign in another language (I think FR).

    After about 24K steps yesterday, and 13K steps today, both of us are tired and sore. I’m heading to another part of #NYState tomorrow, while he’s heading home.

    I had a really good time. I think it was 3 years since I saw #sonOne last, and close to 5 years since I visited his home ( #GD2 was 5-6; now she’s 10 ). We’re planning for me to visit, followed by a visit to #sonTwo and a possible one-day trip to see #Daddy_A.

    Today, we saw both the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History. We walked through Central Park. And we went to the observation deck of Radio City Music Hall. We almost went ice skating, but the price was too high.

    It would have been #sonOne's first time ice skating. I've gone before, but probably not in 45+ years. #NYC

    For the second time in the last five years, I see my oldest in person. Both times because he flew to the area where I was. Tomorrow, we try to see (part of) the City.

    After the ramen, we shared updates about family and friends. We talked about career goals. We talked about the geopolitical situation. And we talked about the difficulties involved in #sonOne coming to #NYC.

    Today was my last work day at the #NYC location. Next week, I'll drive to another location in #NYState and work at that office for an undetermined period.

    I think my cousin is still here in New York, but I'm probably not going to get to meet him. By his description of the area, he was working really close to where I was working, but we never saw one another.

    Now I'm trying to decide whether to go to the chicken place or the Italian place for tonight's dinner. I should probably go to the chicken place. #sonOne and I can go to the Italian place tomorrow or Sunday.

    #Daddy_A got a phone for nine year old #A1. I sent the lad a photo from the office window at work, but he did not respond. I will try to call him Saturday afternoon.

    Meanwhile, cousin #GD2 reports that her phone doesn't take a charge any more. I planned to call her also, but it will have to wait until #sonOne replaces her phone.

    #sonOne: Do you need me to come out there?

    No. So far, it feels like a cold + headache + sudden temperature swings. (Mark describes similar symptoms and suspects he caught it in the Philadelphia airport. But I've been mostly in my hotel room for three weeks, so I don't have any idea how I would have gotten this.)

    I had some in-person support scheduled for tomorrow. Was able to get another employee to cover that for me.

    I discovered 'Yo Gabba Gabba!" and Dancey Dance Time by accident about twelve years ago. I was heading to #GD1's 2nd birthday , and stopped at a store to ask what toy was popular with that age group. The employee pointed to a green striped character with horns. I bought it.

    Months later, #sonOne found the show with that character in it.
