Good thing Dave is just a supervisor now…can you imagine what might happen if he was out managing patients with that attention span?

Yup .... "We can to give someone on the ward a double-shot of xxxxxxxx. Can't remember who though, so just pick someone and we're good."Good thing Dave is just a supervisor now…can you imagine what might happen if he was out managing patients with that attention span?
Hey, in my defence I rarely look at anyone's shave and look at the journals for the more interesting news. Like how sweaty Sam got on the elliptical.Good thing Dave is just a supervisor now…can you imagine what might happen if he was out managing patients with that attention span?

A nice and sweaty workout this morning, followed by a very welcome shower'n'shave. The cart is a little tuggy when it initially meets whiskers, but after the first pass, all is well. The lube strip seems to have gone away for the most part. making rinsing and shaving as easy as it is supposed to be. i.e. No long 3-6" contrails of goop.
With the weather getting chilly and overnight temps just above freezing, it's time to clean up the garden and pull the wilting tomato and bean plants out for compost pickup tomorrow morning.
More document shredding on tap for this afternoon, as I continue getting rid of the last vestiges of my consulting company which I shuttered in 2019. Should have done this log ago as documents are only required to be retained for 2 years after dissolving a corporation in Canada.

In addition to document shredding (only another 10 year's worth to go!), yesterday saw my wife and I take up all the tomato, beans, and broccoli plants for compost. *Whew* That was a lot more work that I thought!
Chess club saw me take on an informal role as a youth instructor, focusing on covering off the basics of the game. Starting with endgames, I will "certify" each of the kids (and teenagers and adults, if they are so inclined!) on each of the "simple" mates in order: Queen, 2 rooks, 1 rook, 2 bishops, and maybe even get one or two knowing B+N mates. Even many adults don't know that latter!
This morning saw up up and about pre-dawn to get the garbage and recycling out to the curb. A nice sweaty elliptical workout, followed by an even nicer shower'n'shave led me to a nice PBJ for lunch!

It's Thursday! ... and you know what that means! A busy schedule with bridge club in the afternoon and chess club in the evening!
A mid-morning workout on the elliptical was followed by a much needed shower'n'shave. Five shaves in on the Schick cart and it seems like the lube/slime strip has fully dissolved, allowing me to shave without distraction. So far, so good!

Bridge was fun yesterday. I was supposed to be helping two players out with additional instruction on Jacoby Transfers, but neither showed up, so I got 2 hours of playtime instead. Not bad at all. My chess game ended in a draw, putting me at an even 50% (+1 =1 -1, with 3 byes due to Covid) which is actually going to see me gain a few rating points as all my opponents were higher rated than I.
This morning's elliptical workout was good, as was the my normal routine afterwards.... i.e. shower, shave, more coffee.
We're heading out to meet our walking buddies at the mall for lunch soon, as the drizzly weather means that walking outside would not be much fun. Yes, even though 3/4 of us are fully retired and the last one partially retired, we're not at the mall-walker stage of life yet, so we'll just be sitting, eating, and talking.

I see your plan: give higher rated players Covid, schedule matches with them, then sit back and collect your points. Dastardly!

Yesterday was great at the mall with our buddies. We hooked up for lunch at 1pm and got up from our tables at 4:30. Lots to catch up on, so we did!
A nice workout while listening to podcasts this morning, followed by a welcome shower'n'shave. The cart is settling in nicely. I just wish these things weren't so expensive.

Have you considered traditional wet shaving? I understand it will save you lots of money!
