@fu I don't know whether I have mentioned it since I started seeing you around, but one of my sisters is married to a Mexican citizen. #faveNephew is a citizen of both Estados Unidos Americanos and Estados Unidos Mexicanos.
We haven't had the full family get together in years, but I really used to enjoy the variety of foods. Most of it, anyway. I think I need to retry Persian and Korean foods. My tastes have changed since then.

Back in #SoCal. #faveNephew brought me "home" from the #hairport.
Also, since when did #TSA need to use my key to open my luggage. My lock is TSA compliant, and has been opened by them many times over the years.
-
I have to coordinate with #faveNephew to land when he is able to pick me up.
-
One good thing that is coming out of this move is that #faveNephew is putting his cousin #lazyNephew in touch with local housing assistance resources. Hopefully, LN and his GF will be able to pay their bills as they stay nearer to their $EMPLOYER. (He definitely needs to look outside the company. Even if he thinks of them as "home", by leaving for a few years and then returning, he can get raises and promotions that he'd never qualify for if he stayed inside the organization.

@clacke Yeah, even family members don't always know. #faveNephew told me that he thought I was in upstate New York, despite me sending pictures of various #NYC landmarks.

When #faveNephew was about 14, the TV news said "Your teen is texting pictures of their private parts to other people. This is called 'sexting'."
I was in Ohio, but I called him immediately and said "If I ever hear that you did that, I'm going to beat your butt". The same conversation was had with #sonTwo and #Daddy_A.
I do note that I did not call any of my other nephews to tell them that. I called the one that I knew would listen to me.
Still, I wonder whether other parents and adult family members were doing their jobs when their child was young enough to listen whenever I see a 20-something post exactly that kind of content.

I had a good call with #fave_nephew last night. We mostly talked about work ... especially his. He may be on the promotion track, but it will take years to get the required time for the promotion. Also, they offered to pay for a Master's Degree, but the organization's requirements are too restrictive.
-
Explaining to #faveNephew that the line of people awaiting testing was enough that it took about two hours just to reach the table where tests were administered. I’m sure #NYC is having a surge of #COVID-19, because I’ve seen people waiting in excess of an hour outside a walk-in clinic / urgent care. Plus multiple street testing centers, all of which seem to be overloaded.

Talked to #faveNephew last night. One of the things we talked about is my fiftieth high school reunion (not this year, but soon) and whether I would attend.
The truth is, that is the only one I intended to attend, but unless I know that one or more of a handful of once-close classmates are attending, I likely will not attend.
My nephew was not surprised by this. (He thinks I have social anxiety anyway.)
-
Spent 2.5 hours on the phone with #faveNephew and 0.5 hours on the phone with #sonTwo tonight.
-
My #faveNephew said I did not grow up Black. I wanted to ask"You mean like that scene in 'The Jerk', only reversed?', but I silently accepted that he meant well.
I think he meant not in a stereotypical way, in an all Black neighborhood, exposed to ethnic culture.

Got to spend some time with #faveNephew today. We met for #coffee at the same place where I go for off-site management meetings. We talked about work, career plans, end-of-life planning. Also about the tendency of myself and his uncles to work lots of hours, to the point that it negatively affects our relationships.
His basic hourly wage is more than mine, and he applied for a promotion that could eventually put him way above anything I can expect to earn during my lifetime. He believes his agency will deny him the promotion because they have a shortage of people doing his specific job.
The workaholic thing was pretty funny. One of the people I supervise kept calling and texting about a schedule change he wanted me to approve. Meanwhile, my nephew had two face to face meetings that got called today, so someone kept calling and texting him to get confirmation about the time and place of one of the meetings, despite being “too busy” during the discussion that led to the meetings. This meant that both my nephew and myself were working while we were off.

By the way, according to #faveNephew, the calories, fat, and sodium ? in Popeye’s chicken don’t count if you walked there and back.

#faveNephew: What's your address? The license for my job is public info and I don't want to use mine because of safety.
Me: Uhhh ...

Good morning. It is 2021-01-09 16:50 UTC (08:50 PST). I’ve finished today’s #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ) and have planned a day of relaxation.
I’m probably anticipating too strongly, but today’s schedule includes:
* phone call with #Daddy_A and #Little_Boy_A and possibly playing a game together
* videochat with brother and his wife + other family members
* #videochat with #sonTwo and #GS3
* phone call with #faveNephew
* drawing something to send to #GD1 and #GD2 ... the younger granddaughter hasn’t been sending me any of her animations recently.

#faveNephew texted to show me that he has both new consoles.
I got both Atari 2600 VCS and Intellivision in early 1982. Then, after my funds were gone, I learned about the Commodore 64.
-
Security keys (yubikeys) are starting to spread in my family. I bought one for my mom, one for each of my kids ( #sonOne, #sonTwo, #Daddy_A ), one for nephew #Papaya, one for #faveNephew. #lazyNephew is buying his own. Nephews #Honshu and #PizzaMan are waiting to see what their brother does with his.
This is a multi-year project, but interest has picked up considerably in the past month or so.
-
Hilarious! #lazyNephew, who wasn't interested in security keys, suddenly asked whether I had a spare Yubikey, and not the $20 model I got for his brother #Papaya and cousin #faveNephew. He asked about a $45 model.
So now he's going to buy it himself. Reason: the admin of the game server he plays on is requiring them soon to prevent account takeovers.

My sister that lives here tells me that another sister's family has #COVID-19, except for #faveNephew.
-
Recently visited one of my sisters who doesn't live in the same house. I showed her and #faveNephew a photo of the tub after #lazyNephew showers. (We have to have his mother remind him to clean up behind himself.)
Y'all just don't know.
