    We once played monopoly in school when learning about them in US History. Fun times when we were still in person.

    I thought Empty Nest Syndrome was a psychological trauma caused by watching Richard Mulligan try to act.

    Empty nest syndrome? Kids are gone, wife and I are vaccinated, headed out on an 8 day Virgin Islands cruise next month, we come and go as we please, eat where we want without worrying about paying for 7 meals at a time. Is there a down side to this “empty nest” thing?

    In 2012, we took our daughter to college for Freshman Move-In Day. We got home and there was indeed a strong feeling of emptiness, and awareness of a change in our routine and even in the family dynamics. Lasted about a day.

    When my boys (FINALLY!) return to in-person learning next week I’ll need the empty nest to give me room to dance when I crank up the Dead and take a few days off.
