Day 13.128: Exile #2's Sunday Column #298

Our walk on the beach yesterday was definitely welcome, although it did cause E5N1 some melancholy moments. As we walked along, he couldn’t help but reflect on the things that would be different this year: no going on vacation, or eating out (which he loves to do). He is missing his buddies and missing being able to go play on the street with the neighborhood kids. We sense this will only get more difficult, as some of them are already playing together again but we’ll see how things go.

Not that he's not enjoying some of the permitted activities!

On the plus side, Exile #3’s dance teacher has been hatching ingenious plans to allow some sort of socially distant end of year show to happen, and the high school graduation ceremony is going to happen courtesy of safely filmed individual segments shown at the local drive-in movie theater.
