Kids are off school until April 5 out here.

Looks like we've got a LOT of bike riding in our future.

Not usually an old school kinda guy but puzzles and Lego sounds like a good plan.

Bought Luigis Mansion 3 yesterday. With that, BOTW and Mario Kart, Plex full of movies I've just finished processing we should be good for this weekend.

Have basically all of RDR2 to play (BOTW kinda got in the way of playing that) as well as SW: BF2.

Hell of a good weekend to stay inside and just do a ton of fun stuff.

I've already been in "quarantine" for over 2 weeks now, not because of covid but because of an injury. Going out and walking/riding bikes is one of our favorite things to do with our daughter but the snow storm in Calgary today puts an end to that

After 2 weeks of already being at home, and now being unsure of a return to a normal work routine, I'm starting to feel feel a bit of cabin fever taking over

I've posted more on CP today than I have in the last few years I'm pretty sure

Last time there was no hockey in the spring I started getting out a bunch more and ended up married. Who knows what will happen this time.

I mean I could handle a 1/4 full cinema more than I could Costco or Superstore or a jaunt around Chinook Mall right now - at least until its green (or less white) outside.

Learn to play an instrument. Hours and hours every day to practice.

I'm probably going to dive into the deep end of auto-erotic asphyxiation.

Just make sure you've filled out your organ donor card first.

Well, 1.5 extended play LOTR movies, and if I actually get sick, the other 1.5.

Just the extended Return of the King could get you through this entire isolation period.

Exactly!

I'm actually thinking of selling my drums and picking up one of these:

I haven't played sax in soooo long, and this seems pretty cool. Plus I could practice without driving everyone else crazy.

When my 5 year old is up (I'm lucky, as I work from home, and my kid is trained really well):
- Lots of Lego
- Workbooks
- Piano practicing
- Playing out in the yard
- Playing in the garage
- Videogames and TV for an hour at the end of the day

After 5 year old goes to bed with wife:
- Netflix... lol
- Seriously, Netflix and TV

After wife goes to bed:
- Fart around on the PS4 or Switch
- Invest more time into my piano than I have recently. A few hard pieces I've been trying to get through, just haven't had the time.

Hopefully not myself included, but I foresee a baby boom between December 2020 and March of 2021...

Good idea, or learn another language. Turn your quarantined house into an immersion experience. No one is allowed to speak anything but Spanish, or French, or Klingon.
