I’m so glad I live in this day and age. In addition to pretty easily surviving two births that would have absolutely killed me in the 1800s, I can now say that I’ve participated in a virtual happy hour with my family… One that was fun, and actually made it seem like we were all together.

My brother and sister-in-law live in Boston, and the rest of us are here in Wisconsin. We gathered to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and through the miracle of Google video chat and two laptops, we assembled a virtual mixer that lasted for over an hour.
