Ethan and Ehlana:
It is April Fool’s Day, and while we’d love to spend some time making jokes about politicians; we’ll resist the urge. There were pranks and jokes around school and town today, but we didn’t get involved; and weren’t personally hit by any pranks.
As for the rest of our day, Tai Chi was chilly, but we exercised by the river anyway. Breakfast was standard school day fare, but we had a fun vid-chat with Cassie and Michael; so that was pretty good too. Our academic adventures were fun – even with the goofiness going on around us; and then our band practice was mostly about getting ready for the Memorial Day parade. It was also short because there was a separate practice for the musicians helping out with the Easter weekend music at church. That might sound weird to teens in other places, but it is normal here for our music teachers to help our teen praise teams with instrumental music.
Since we were busy with band after school, we went home for dinner with Mom and Dad; and then headed over to the lab for the evening. We used time phasing to ‘make’ more time; worked for the equivalent of eight hours; and came home at a bit after eleven o’clock. Ehlana got more done with her experiments than I did with my books, but then that was mostly because what I was working on was very technical with multiple uses; so it took time to process and then cross-reference to everywhere in the archives where the knowledge will be most-useful. Trust me, that process is boring; and you really don’t want the details! Ehlana, on the other hand, is always happy to get into details for her work, and if you’re interested; she has special archives for her research and experiments where you can get all of that information! ;^)
Moving along, we did a snack and chat with Mom and Dad after getting home; bath or Jacuzzi time followed; and now it is getting late as we wrap up our day with the usual computer checks and twin chat. That’s why we aren’t going to get into a major commentary on world news – though it is certain to be a busier news day tomorrow as President Trump rolls out new tariffs. Ehlana and I might have commentary on that story once we get some of the details, but we can tell you right now that we really wish that all world leaders would care as much about ending the wars as they pretend to care about the impact of economic policies on ‘normal’ people. We really don’t want to get into any rants and need the sleep we still have time for tonight; so let’s stop there before we really get going on all of the stupidity going on in the world. You will be very blessed in your ‘now’ if you have better leaders and a more-peaceful world; so we’ll hope for that for you – and for our future selves!
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
