Dinners with family: every night, even on Tuesday evening when my younger son flew in from San Francisco and we had a late family dinner after my evening engagement.  My kids and I went to the Timbers game vs Ajax Amsterdam on Wednesday.  I appreciated re-connecting with my family, after several weeks straight of hardly ever being home in the evening.
