Can't Keep me Down

Finally Summer vacation comes but all my vacation plans are cancelled. Anyone in Seoul is advised to stay at home. There is always a silver lining behind every cloud and a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow.

I've been able to spend time with my boys one on one and listen to them. There are some areas in their academics they needed help with and I am amazed at their progress in the last couple days.

It's not easy but after a few days we have a schedule to help the youngest with reading and the oldest with piano. If it was up to them every minute of the day would be devoted to television. My wife got a new cell phone contract and the contract comes with a free Netflix account. This doesn't help.

In the past the kids got everything they wanted from moviesjoy.to but now they have an access to a "legitimate" site. Every day I need wisdom and patience to help them. In a couple weeks I will be back in school with summer classes.

I'd like to say we visited a water park or went to the zoo or stayed at a hotel, but it's not happening because of social distance restrictions. It's more like we put a tiny pool on the balcony. We walked in the park behind the house. We stayed in a tent on the balcony. That's about as adventurous as our summer vacation is here.

At least its a beautiful place and since travel restrictions have increased the pollution has decreased. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful.

I wonder how it is in your part of the world?
