We are going to have a virtual family Easter Dinner. We will be at four different houses, but all connected on the internet live. (Don't ask me how this works, the kids will walk us through it hopefully) We will all be having spaghetti, which wasn't my choice, but the children all like it, I guess. Haven't been around the great grandchildren for awhile so I'm looking forward to it.

We’ve been having weekly FaceTime chats for a while. You’ll do fine.

We did this through messenger while we were in our bug out spot last week. Had 7 in the chat and everyone talking at once made it a shit show. It was awesome!

Like I said, kid's favorite. At our house, "spaghetti" will actually be home made sauce from San Marzano tomatoes that we grew last summer and froze. Hand made meat balls and made from scratch fettucine from our Kitchen Aid pasta making attachment. Also a mix of parmesan and romano cheese which I grated and sourdough garlic bread which is a family favorite when I make it.

Sound a little better now?

My stepson is a high end chef up in Spokane, and I look forward to seeing what twist he puts on it. It won't be Chef Boy-Are-Di, I can tell you that.

It's just an odd choice for Easter.

It ain't no Kettle of Waste, that's for sure.

Usually we have ham. Not one of my favorites, but my niece does an awesome job with it. Just no easy way to spread it around four or five houses and a thousand miles.

Fail. Fettucine is not spaghetti.

Yeah, I know. The wife just decided to use that attachment for the pasta making. I like both.

We tried this afternoon to get 3 locations together:

1. Me and my wife in NJ.
2. My son in Boston.
3. My daughter and her BF in CA.

We got audio from the 3 locations working for a short time, but never got video of all 3 working at the same time. Don't ask me for details, as when I tried to get involved I was more or less told to STFU.

Mrs Flex made ham, turkey, stuffing, roasted potatoes, gravy. The works yesterday.

Friday night she made us pub style fish and chips because it's a tradition we go out to the pub for fish and chips on Good Friday.

I'm one lucky dude.

So your family treats you the same as we do? Good to know.

FWIW: My 10 year old niece in Holland got herself, her mother, and her two aunts on a group video call this morning, and on that call, I asked her how she did that. She told me and my wife, but still this afternoon, I was told to STFU.
