    #sonTwo’s current thinking: The venue where he works is closed. He wants to avoid any repeat of this in future outbreaks or shutdowns, so he’s going to concentrate on a career change.

    I’m expecting him to finish setting up his servers now, so he can relearn the *nix admin stuff that I had him learning during middle school and part of high school. (Half his lifetime ago)

    I’m going to talk with #sonOne about us getting a cheap LEB VPS for a year, so that we each can use it for learning projects.

    I was a little worried that #Daddy_A would feel left out because I'm unlikely to be able to send him a #NAS or the server & rack for his birthday. Both #sonOne and #sonTwo got a NAS for their birthdays. During yesterday's videochat with 2nd son, I mentioned it and he said "you won't find out whether he takes it badly until you tell him, but I'm sure he will understand". So last night, I sent a message.

    This morning I received a reply:
    "No worries about the NAS or server ... don't let yourself stress out about that!"

    Breathing a sigh of relief.

    #sonTwo sent me a link to a #Windows #SysAdmin opening not too far from his area. If I get this job, I can hang out with #GS3 on my days off.

    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.

    During today's conversation with #sonTwo, he told me he's going to plant a vegetable garden. When he was younger, it was difficult to get him to spend much time in the garden in the backyard. I have a feeling that he will now be a lot more eager to make sure that carrots and cucumbers grow.

    #GS3 is walking and starting something similar to running. He’s still unsteady on his feet, so he has a weird leg movement and falls a lot, but he’s soon going to be challenging grandpa to races.

    During his time off, #sonTwo is working to finish fencing the yard, so that my grandson and my granddoggy will both be contained in that space.

    #sonTwo starting his job search now. Though he likes his $EMPLOYER and job, they will only have a limited amount of time that they can stay in business without revenue.

    It sounds like a good idea, at first. But if you think about it more deeply, you might not know which ones are just cheap and which ones cannot afford to stay closed for two months.

    For example, #sonTwo's $EMPLOYER gave them two paid weeks off, but now the governor of that state wants them to stay closed for eight weeks. There's a chance that the business will not be able to reopen after that long without income. But if you think of things as zero-sum and us versus them, then you'll never think about the impact on the other party.

    #sonTwo said today "I'm a little worried about you and Grandma, because--I'm not gonna lie--you're old".

    I don't think either of the other two could get away with saying that.

    This phones transition is really messing things up. Not able to reach #sonTwo at all.

    @clacke I have still never seen any Carmen Sandiego cartoons. I think there was a series of DOS/Win9X games, and I’m sure I bought one for #sonTwo, but that was after I had bought “Math Blaster” and he had played it until he figured out it was just math drills, so I doubt he ever played the CS game.

    Unintentionally guilted #sonTwo ... now that he and his wife are getting their own cellphone plan, he asked whether I could drop the family plan and move to theirs. I told him to put his father-in-law on, so he can videochat with #GS3 "because I know that he'll wait all day for that few minutes with his grandson, just like I do".

    Was not meant to make him feel guilty for not being able to have videochats every single day, but I guess he does.

    Hoping to take a Greyhound bus to #MO this month, so I can visit #sonTwo and family ( and meet #GS3 ).

    Thanks to work schedule weirdness, #GS3 was getting to stay up until 21:30 most nights. Now, #sonTwo and his wife are going to try harder to have him in bed by 20:00-20:30 every night.
    .
    His cousin #GD2 is 7 years older and in bed at 19:00 on school nights.

    #GS3, age 1 year, mostly babbles, but he occasionally says things that sound very much like situationally appropriate English sentences. He tossed a ball into a large bowl and said something very similar to "I did it". I told #sonTwo and his wife that he's probably going to be like me. My first "word" was a full sentence.

    #sonTwo tells me that he stopped somewhere and saw goats today. He says he got goat urine on his shoes.

    @medli I think I may have seen 2-3 episodes of MitM. I definitely saw at least one episode, but not much more than that. It seemed like a good show. #sonTwo and all his friends loved it.

    #sonTwo, the kid that has called just about every day for the past fifteen years (since he was in high school!) has a weirdly changing work schedule for the past couple of months, so I'm able to talk to him maybe once or twice per week now, which has also limited the time I get to videochat with #GS3.

    One of my goals for today is to turn on the #PS4 and / or #Switch and play for a while today. I should see if #sonTwo is available. I know both of our "FIFA" and "MLB: The Show" versions are years old, but maybe we can still play.

    I think #sonOne is moving one or both of his 20-something sons to their grandmother's apartment in SE Kansas today. I should call the granddaughters also.

    #Daddy_A is going to be busy with family tasks today. I may still ask.

    And if I decide I don't like it, don't want it, or can't use it frequently enough, I'll send it to #sonTwo.

    I'm not really making plans for it yet. Until it arrives, I shouldn't and won't expect it.
