Son's Birthday

Yesterday on the 17th of April was my son's birthday, a day of Joy, wonder and pity. My son Jacob turned 2 and I was filled with Joy to see my little walking talking child celebrate his second birthday. Jacob is making good progress, he can count and recite the alphabet, he can also say basic phrases like hello and goodbye or Yes and No. 

My Brother's family came over to share the celebration and he brought his occlus rift with him. I was filled with wonder to use the Occlus virtual reality head set and controllers for the first time. I played a round of golf and danced with a robot and even played virtual reality angry birds on there. To me, the best thing to do on virtual reality is play golf because the weather is always nice in virtual reality (unless you are playing a horror game) and you can teleport to where the ball lands. I felt like I could reach down and touch the grass because the graphics were so good. Much better than phone virtual reality. 

I also felt pity because Prince Philip's funeral was on the same day and I thought how hard it must be to be married for so long and then be widowed, they had been married many years even when I was born they had been married for decades.
