I never can decide if I should bring my hearing aides. What if I have to listen to somebody? But I look as old as I am so if I say, "I'm sorry, I..." or even look quizzical they start shouting so where is the need? If there is a doomsday asteroid strike it will be so loud I won't need hearing aids to hear it, so I might as well leave them home and avoid losing them. But maybe I should lose them. My wife is always asking me to do stuff. It would be easier to pretend not to hear her.
What is with that lip gloss anyway? Do you smear it all over the face side of the mask or just where your mouth will be? I finally broke down and got some N95Ks (now required for choir practice) and they don't touch my mouth anyway. I can even do the lip buzz exercise.
BTW I see you in Funny Times every month now. Your mom must be so proud.
