With recent riots spreading across the country, we tried to distract our 4-year-old from the civil unrest and specter of racism looming over our nation. Westley was too disturbed by the boss fights to watch the conclusion of our Spiderman game, so we switched over to the Nintendo Labo robot kit, which gave him the chance to punch and smash through digital buildings on TV. For more physical exercise, we tried to remove his bike’s training wheels, but found it easier to have him learn on a balance bike by also removing the pedals. I had little time to spend with him, however, as my R01 resubmission consumed my evenings and caused significant sleep deprivation. Melody also lost some sleep to the BTS Bang Bang Con livestream concert that went virtual from the other side of the globe. The grant writing had cut off Kassandra’s quests through the Elysium Fields, Hades, and Atlantis in the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey expansion. Fortunately, news of the score on my other R01 proposal helped reinvigorate my confidence as I raced to the grant-writing finish line ahead of our family trip to Marshall.
