What? Did I give it away? I guess I’d better watch it! (D’oh!)

Happy Friday evening, everyone. Late night documenting my early evening shave. Basically, I waited till the last minute to shave, then ran out the door. I’m back home, it’s 10:30pm, and I’m tired. Fairly busy day, but nothing too strenuous, so no complaints here. A good day, all in all. Let’s all have a great weekend!

It’s late and I was going to post this tomorrow, but what the heck. I neglected to mention that this is my last Derby blade. Decent shaves, but there are better ones out there. Also, I have a bunch of blades to use before I need to replenish. Looking forward to tomorrow’s birthday Zoom call. Be well.

This was actually yesterday’s shave, which I finished one minute before the Zoom call. Fun call - great to see everyone. Enjoy your day, Cadre.

FYI:
Uranus Used to Be Called “George’s Star”
Despite the fact that Uranus is four times the size of Earth, it took astronomers a while to realize it was a planet rather than a star, even after telescopes came along. English astronomer William Herschel made the first recorded discovery of Uranus as a planet in 1781, during the reign of King George III. He named the planet Georgium Sidus, or George’s Star, in honor of the king. The international astronomy community was less than thrilled about a planet being named after an unpopular British monarch rather than a deity, and in 1850 settled on naming the planet Uranus, after the Greek god of the sky.

Good day, Cadre. As we can see, things are heating up in Uranus, at a balmy 54F/12C. Hoping it stays calm and storm free up there for you all, though things might get a little wet.

Shaved hours earlier, but this is my first opportunity to document. Went to see a general surgeon (PRO TIP: never settle for a colonel surgeon) about an inguinal hernia. Heading back to an OR table to have it corrected, but don’t know when yet. Next month or so, I suspect. No hurry, so I can plan it around anything else I need to do.

Yet again I’m documenting a shave that took place earlier. No reason for the late entry, I’ve just been web surfing and watching Chicago PD reruns. I hope everyone had a good day.

Dinner time shave tonight. Meeting up with friends in a bit. Another Friday gathering that I rarely mention is my morning Zoom meeting via a terrific cancer outreach center here in town. We typically have 5-6 people attending, but today we had a dozen. I just love these folks - they are the most courageous people I’ve ever known. Three today were new to us, having joined in the last month. They are newly diagnosed and fresh out of surgery, or just beginning treatment, waiting for lab work or pathology reports. Represented among the dozen today are longtime survivors (myself and two others), a handful of folks with a couple years or less (therefore still on surveillance), and the new people mentioned above. I cannot adequately explain or describe how much this special group gets out of this gathering. We support each other, we care about each other. It gives us all an opportunity to give voice to our experiences, fears, coping strategies, etc. After successful treatment, most people, including family and friends, think it’s all over, that the cancer is behind us. I’m nearly 11 years post treatment and I still find myself wondering if it’ll ever recur. Really, I do. I have yet to meet a cancer survivor who doesn’t harbor that same fear. As I said, it’s tough to explain, but when you’re facing cancer, it’s beat it or die. Those are your only options. Meeting up with those who battle, and those who’ve won is enormously uplifting to me. We are stronger together. I love these folks with all of my heart.
Gotta go. Be well, Cadre!

An enjoyable shave this afternoon. Meeting up with friends later. Great bunch of folks - I’m looking forward to spending a couple hours with them, enjoying some decaf coffee and treats, maybe even some homemade ones.
Enjoy your day, Cadre!

Happy Tuesday, one and all. It’s a pleasant evening here at 61F/16C now, it was 71F/22C earlier. I did a little cleaning up in the backyard earlier. I shaved a few minutes ago to be ready for an 8am appointment at the car dealership for a minor recall and key replacement. I hope everyone has had a decent day. Be well.

I must have missed the memo about Gillette acquiring Wilkinson. I always assumed that they were competitors. New blade, nice shave, hours ago. Did a few things immediately after shaving, but things have settled down now. Perfect March day, high 69F/21C, currently 67F/19C. Downright balmy, it is. Cloudless sky all day. Enjoying Chicago PD reruns again. Hope everyone had a great day.

Wonderful sunny day at 75F/24C. I’ve had our windows open since noon. It’s Friday, so a late shave for evening festivities. I hope we are all enjoying this beautiful Friday.

Star Trek Coffee Cup and Tribble
In the original series the crew regularly drank coffee from grey cups. In one of the most famous incidents, Kirk discovers that tribbles have got into his dinner, eaten his chicken sandwich and drunk his coffee. The cups were originally made of styrofoam, whereas ours are made of earthenware...
