Well

With the help of Gatorade, rest, and prayers, I am almost completely back from my bout with COVID.  That said, with well-wishes like this one Ev made for me, I really had little choice but to get well soon...

For those of you wondering - behind this drawing were coupons for free back rubs when I get well.  On an unrelated note, I'm not sure why crayon Amelia is so angry in this drawing...

Message

 The video below will explain how my week has been.  

turns out having a great friend set up a Cameo video from one of your favorite former Gator/NBA players is the best medicine...you know, other than vaccines, boosters, Tylenol, cough syrup, and any other actual medicines.  

Notes

This e-mail came from one of Amelia's teachers who is a medical doctor stepping in to teach her science class....

"Hi Amelia's parents,

 

I wanted to take a second to share that Amelia is a joy to have in science class -- she is bright, conscientious, kind, attentive, and inquisitive.  Take a bow, because you're doing a job as parents!"

....I mean, we already knew she was awesome, but it is nice to have it cosigned by someone else. 

Payoff

The kids are really getting to the ages where they can work off the debt they owe me for giving them life... either that or Amelia is just a kind soul who doesn't mind helping her old dad...

Spring

Spring has sprung at our house ... and I don't know that only from my allergies ... I know that because my talented wife is growing all the colors of the rainbow in our yard....
