(Tough long week- thanks for hanging in there, I know my posts haven’t been too interesting. Good stuff coming up next week)
I recently saw an Instagram ad for technology where your children can wear this headset and see virtual bears and tigers, etc. Of course I offered my opinion on the matter.
How ’bout taking your damn kids to see animals in person? What the hell is happening in this world?
So to finish up the week, here are five things you can do to get off the tech and connect with joy.
Take your kid to breakfast or lunch. While it’s tough to get all of my boys out at the same time, I can usually get at least one out a week. One-on-one conversation is unrivaled.
Walk around a city. Make sure you go to the good parts, I know some cities are sketchy right now. Take in the culture and restaurants.
Take a class. I’m signed up for burlesque dance classes, but I’m going to wait until I don’t have to wear a mask.
Detail your car. Don’t pay someone else. Go to the local auto store and get some supplies and put some manual labor into your vehicle. This is the kind of manual labor I love, because it’s aesthetic.
Cook something complex. This makes it necessary to shop for obscure ingredients, and then put time and effort into the actual creation. Nothing will ever taste so good.
Hasta la vista baby.
