I dunno, maybe I need to pull Stefan off some of his warehouse duties and have him keep my journal going on the weekends. We went at saw the musical Six on Saturday night. Pretty good. Just all music and all modern stuff. Not what we were expecting. Family dinner at a steak house before that. Cost too much, but it's rare the 5 of us are together any more.

Stefan tried his hand at posting for you....here are the results:

2451-ish....or around that....who's really counting? days of consecutive shaving - 1123 open-blade...whatever that is.
A much too expensive razor-thingy w/ a blade....its sharp (6)
A very nice smelling soap......kinda manly....kinda girly....much like Bougie
Some Lemon thing he splashes on his face....and other areas when the camera is turned off
Nivea 2:1...this is the good stuff...always says Ka-POW when putting it on
Much too many sprays of some cologne......less is more, sir.

Well....looks like I'm now working 24/7/365 for the laziest best boss in this immediate area code. He went out and had fun on Saturday night. Said he had a reward for me. I got to write this journal post. Not what I was expecting. He took his family out to dinner......I had leftover thai food....but his family were all happy when they returned...and really I do this for their benefit...I actually like them.

(Picture rejected because it looks EXACTLY like the previous 1900 daily photos posted on here.....get creative once and a while)

Oh come on man! You can see the brush was moved from the standard line o' stuff to the left to really create a frame to pull the eye to the Juniper Sling bottle and into the piece itself. The gap just to the left of the bottle gives a little relief to the closed in feeling and a sense of unknown. Thus creating the start of an adventure for the viewer. Did I just lean to the left? Pfft!

I hadn't even considered any of that. I stand corrected.....congrats Ansel.

My wife and I have been using one of those meal prep delivery services. It's been interesting. We did this one other time pre-COVID but stopped because the kids didn't like actual variety and new things. This time it's been educational in learning simple techniques that would help add flavor to some basic things we make. But the other thing is it seems like you would be hosed doing it by yourself. Almost every meal we are both doing different things at the same time to have everything ready and hot in the end.

Shave with Eucris is uploading sloooooowly.

No no, that was another guy that lived on my floor. When he was sitting in the common area he liked to throw his legs up in the air and make a display of letting one rip. He also like to pontificate on the fact he thought farting in the shower made it smell like propane.

As I have previously reported, human methane emissions are highly flammable. Waiting till showering strikes me as extremely safety conscious. Respect.

And people say I missed out on so many life experiences by not going to a "big college"..........this is proof that I didn't.

Like Gear, I had an early morning meeting but nobody said anything about going home early too! The next month is going to be about crossing fingers. My boss is still out on special assignment and one of the other directors who deals with all our regulatory stuff is gone for a month starting tomorrow. Tomorrow I also start a week of call for the hospital. So my eyes are going to be tired of squiting to will trouble from staying away until we get more man power back.

Stefan piped up (that will be the last time that is allowed) about my picutes. So today for those of you that are into haute art, I bring you this photo. Clear your mind and allow it to drift in the shaving world. Picutre a brush dedicated to Pi (π). A constant dance between order and randomness, a secret code weaving through the fabric of reality. It's a mathematical whisper that shapes circles, spirals, and even the rhythm of nature's patterns. Imagine a perfect circle, a symbol of wholeness. Pi is the silent voice that connects its circumference and diameter, a ratio that never varies, no matter the size of the circle. Then a soap reflecting a figure of scientific brilliance and artistic inclination. A man who bridged the realms of science and art. sculptor, carefully chiseling away at the mystery of the microscopic world. His experiments, like a carefully crafted piece of art, revealed the hidden forces that caused disease and the secrets of fermentation. And finally a razor like a precise, artistic knife, gently but effectively removing unnecessary details from complex explanations. It's the art of simplicity, where a single, elegant stroke reveals the underlying truth instead of a chaotic jumble of unnecessary layers.
