My Quarantine Lists...

The calendar says May today and all the days have blended together a bit...With that in mind (and full calendar month under quarantine now), I decided to put together a list of everything I have done since the quarantine started with some observations...

Hygiene (in order of occurrence)

• Grew a goatee (almost all gray)
• Let the kids color my hair (rainbow)
• Let the kids buzz cut my head
• Grew a mustache
• Let Kristy cut my hair 

Exercise

• Riding bikes in the street w/ kids (we do it almost daily)
• Ran an all out mile on the open road (5:19 as a part of the Brea alumni virtual mile challenge, want to start doing 1x/month)
• 60 pushups in 60 seconds challenge (1x successful, 25+x unsuccessful)

Reading/Listening

• Finished a book that had been on my night stand for months (Bill Gates, Business at speed of thought). 
• Just started a new one (Dan Brown - Origin)
• Subscribed to the Washington Post (it came pre loaded on my new Amazon Fire Tablet. I still prefer the LA times)
• Podcasts - I know I am super late to the game on this one, but just started listening to Podcasts (current play list is a mix of Outside Magazine, LMU Magazine, and a bunch of tech industry stuff)
• Live streamed a couple concerts - A couple different events with the Lumineers (my favorite band)

Fun Family Stuff

• Camped in the backyard with Natalie (pic below)
• Fostered and adopted a dog  (Tokyo, probably the most surprising thing we did so far)
• Learned one new skill on the Alexa - The announcement feature ("Alexa make an announcement"), great for announcing meal times. 
• Downloaded 3 new apps for the kids (Tiktok, Facebook messenger, and Prodigy)
