Yeah, we’re still in quarantine, but who can’t help but celebrate their daughter’s birthday. We had a ton of Zoom calls planned, starting with Satsang at our beloved Chinmaya Mission. We then spoke to relatives from around the world and did curbside pickup from Olive Garden. We watched a couple of movies and called it a night.
She got a computer for her birthday. I figured if these kids are going to be online for most of the school year next year, they better have good equipment to do so. No, I didn’t get the latest model or anything, but it’s good enough to last her 4 years of high school.
So, now we head into Memorial Day. A holiday to celebrate the lives we have lost fighting for our nation. A time to reflect on the lives we continue to lose today due to a pandemic. I have said this to friends before and I’ll say it again. Social distancing has shown signs of effectiveness; why stop now? Why are people venturing to the beaches of Galveston or even heading inside a restaurant to celebrate? Because they can. I don’t agree but that’s the notion of this country: freedom in excess, or should I say “INXS”? 🙂
