A New Reality

Owen biked by a protest and only did not join in because he did not have a mask. It was a protest by our police station and was not large, but Owen was moved enough to talk to his friend about it. Matt told Owen about a 90 minute meeting he had at work about racism and how it moved him.

It's been a few weeks since Owen and his Dad Matt got together and Owen had a lot on his mind. It's two people in the suburbs giving their thoughts on the state of the United States.

Owen spent his 12th birthday in isolation. We did invite some family friends over for a basketball game, in violation of social distancing. We also talked how Matt and Owen are both isolating too much and how they need to get their act together and start engaging with the world.

Owen and his dad talked about how the novelty of staying at home has worn off. There are only so many shows, so many video games and so many dog walks someone can take. Owen has some anxiety about going back to school after, "Spring Break." We also talked about fear in reentering society.
