I've had people recommend Powecom masks as larger than other KN95s, but they're still pretty small & don't fit me any better than other KN95s I've tried.
Photo comparing RespoKare to Powecom attached. I'd love something that goes under my chin like the RespoKare (& more up the sides of the face).

Now that painting is done, Alan has finally come home from his long vacation.
It's good to have him back.

After months of slowly painting our porch*, we finally finished yesterday. Which meant that today we could finally put up our new porch frorgs.
Alan Ribman will return shortly, too... just as soon as I fix his joints.
(*I do NOT recommend exterior painting, especially in the summer 🫠)

Finally got my cable organizer organized again, along with far too many cables for e-waste. B/c if a pocket is too full for a new cable to fit, then I don't need it.
Why do I have so many USB-*Mini* B cables? Does anyone even use firewire for anything anymore? Who knows! But they're going away. 😅

Anyway, the new windows have transoms at the top, which we will eventually fill with stained glass.
Long term project, but we're really looking forward to it.

Finally got my office back together after not having access for a week due to installing new windows and related cleanup/painting. Decided to take some time to clean my desks for the first time in years.
All of this was taking up desk space and outlets while serving no purpose >.>

Did an impromptu photoshoot while I had the costume out for reasons
Iiii don't fit this costume anymore. Need to make a new one some day (ideally out of real linen so it's not so hot)
But each year I gain a little more weight, go a little more bald, and look a little more like David Ogden Stiers 😅

Finally finished this "quick" Ytram project I started last spring.
First time working with glass paints. It's not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Love that shadow 😍🐸
This will be a prize at Mysterium this year (if UPS cooperates).

If any New England theatre groups are in need of lighting equipment, this seems like a great opportunity (and a piece of Boston history!)

The "Summary of Benefits and Coverage" for my insurance, vs the big "Schedule of Benefits" document.
That seems awfully misleading. Some might even say it's like lying!

I opened my calendar to look at January and found this gem I set years ago.
Feels darkly ironic that January 2025 is when the apocalypse was supposed to be cancelled, but 🙃

Went to sign up for Cara to at least park my username if it sticks around, and was informed that "Firefox is not compatible with copy/paste."
I... what? Excuse me?
Doesn't bode well for that app in my eyes, frankly.

I mean, it was a good 14 year run with Unity.
WPI was teaching with the C4 Engine back then, and IIRC Unity had only just come out with their Windows version.

There's a new covid surge in progress. 2 other area hospital systems are resuming mask policies. So what's Mass General's response?
