Ethan and Ehlana:
Our top news of the day is that it was sunny with a high of seventy-five; we took advantage of that to spend a lot of time outdoors – including from our morning workout by the river through to the biking on the trails with our friends. Three of our classes were taken outdoors too, and while we don’t really have any specific news to offer from any of our adventures; this was one of those really good days. We had a late barbeque dinner with Mom, Dad, Naomi, Aiden, and their parents, brother, and sister; we – the kids – went for a short canoe ride after that; and then our guests and friends went home while we moved on to work in the office and do a Magi lesson with Mom.
Bath or Jacuzzi time was needed again tonight; we’ve been listening to music and chatting since then; and now we’re ready to crash and nap now.
Before we do that, while we don’t want to get into a big commentary on the bad news around the world; we’ll at least mention that the war in Ukraine is still bad with no signs of sanity in sight for the leaders on either side of the conflict. Daily Covid case totals have dropped around the world, but that’s expected in the spring; and we’ll see whether new surges appear – or new strains. We should also mention that our own Magi-powered ‘vaccines’ are still effective, and while we don’t keep up with that beyond reading reports; Uncle Adam and Uncle Mark continue to monitor that through normal visits with their patients. There is no way to be sure that our friends and neighbors will be protected from future variants of Covid, but if that becomes a problem; Ehlana will find a new solution!
Finally, we want to point out that all of the other major problems around the world are still out there – and often being ignored by our world leaders. It is really hard to hold out hope for at least our near-term collective future when most of those bigger problems are just getting worse. That probably sounds wrong when we are personally insulated from basically all of those problems here at home, but we care about everyone; and don’t want anyone to suffer for any reason. We’d better stop before we get into more details; so that’s all for tonight. We’re heading into a couple of rain days; so we’ll switch to indoor adventures and play time at the lab. Our friends always think that we’re a bit nuts to love what we do at the lab, but then only two of them actually know what we really do; so that isn’t a surprise. We’ll still try to have happy, interesting stories to write about for you, but it’s time to get some sleep now; and then we’ll get out there and live those adventures that we’ll write about next!
Until next time, this little blast from your near or distant past is written for you with love from Ethan and Ehlana Proctor – twin junior Magi Masters of the Light!
