Today I spent the day with my family. No masks, no outdoor seating, no nothing. I spent the day with my children and their families. I spent hours with my grandchildren and I caught up with them about school and their hobbies and other things like what they were reading. And with the two youngest I played a game of catch that went on for a couple of hours. It was exhausting and wonderful. And then we had a grand meal. My son in law let my daughter relax for Mother’s Day and went outside and grilled steaks and salmon and we had a feast. And then we had some excellent Italian pastries and coffee.
And I sat down after dinner and talked to my oldest grandson who is a junior in high school and asked him about his math classes and he said he is doing well in calculus. He is much like me and I think he will end up in engineering or computer science. And we discussed some of his other activities. He has a 3D printer that I funded and I was glad to hear that he has learned how to replace the parts that wear out and make the adjustments needed to keep it working well. Later I spoke with my daughter and she told me about the straight A’s her son has been getting in math. And that made me happier than anything. I guessed that he would have academic abilities but I was afraid he would also have inherited from me a disregard for studying. I always depended on just raw ability to barely squeak by without doing anything but last-minute cramming. Hearing that he had picked up some discipline was music to my ears.
And I spoke with my next oldest grandson. He had grown a lot over the last year and now was almost as tall as his older brother. And we talked about his school sports. He loves playing soccer and basketball and now he’s added tennis to his games. He was happy about being able to play again now that school was returning to normal. I’ve seen him play and he has great enthusiasm and talent. And he was so personable and cheerful. That was personal growth and great to see.
The other two boys, the little guys were live wires and played and bickered with each other and gave me the chance to chide them about their outlaw behavior. We talked about dinosaurs and giant ants and ninjas. Of course.
I knew I missed all these things during this insane lockdown but now I remembered exactly what they felt like. Camera Girl and I were smiling all the way home and we went on and on about how good it was to see everyone and how we would have a pool party for the kids with a barbecue very soon.
And I think how much we were robbed of in the last year. Our children were cheated out of a year of their education. Our neighbors were cheated out of the businesses they had built up over the course of a lifetime. Our country was cheated out of the freedoms that have been the birthright of this country for centuries. And all of us were cheated out of the government we voted for.
All of this was done under the false pretense that COVID was a deadly plague that threatened everyone. We were lied to and bullied into giving up all these things and then humiliated into walking around with a pathetic mask that was supposedly keeping away the invisible invader. We had to forego human contact with those we cared for the most. Even those who actually did die from the virus had to die alone in a hospital surrounded by masked strangers.
But now we see that the masks did nothing and all the same people lived or died regardless of these useless gestures. In Florida the people were freed from the masks and other restrictions and they had lower death rates than New York where everyone remained locked down for a year. And now maybe people will start to wake up from this charade and hold responsible those who perpetrated this fraud on us. Newsom and Cuomo and Fauci are the names that stand out. But there are dozens of governors and mayors who locked up their people and enjoyed their little reign of terror. They locked up innocent people but let the BLM gangsters have free rein to form mobs of people and terrorize the hard-working people of their states.
So, the nonsense about COVID has stopped scaring people. Now we have to decide if we are going to get our lives back the way they were. If we can’t do that then we’re slaves here and should look around for a better place to live.
Well done report!
Thanks.
