“AirPods!”

Posted on January 31, 2021 by Steve Mays

During the early days of the pandemic, as more and more people began showing up on TV via Zoom et al, I would shout out to Barb, “AIRPODS!” That quickly became annoying so I would whisper, “AirPods.” Now I just mouth the words.

I have mine in so frequently I’ve stopped noticing them (they fit my ears perfectly). Arguments about audio quality aside, they have changed my perception of music. It seems to be coming from inside my head, rather than through my ears.

Apple Music playlists (piano solos and cello solos) have become the the background for my awareness, making me noticeably more relaxed and peaceful.

Got a chance to try out the Snow Joe Cordless Snow Blower this morning. One of our many “pandemic purchases.” Don’t think it could handle a really heavy snow but we don’t get that many of those. And it was much easier to handle than one of those Wisconsin he-man monsters. I wound up using the shovel but in a couple of years…?

Barb took her weekly Zoom session up a few notches by streaming live from the Miltenberger-Mays Memorial Library. By the way… those little xmas tree cakes? Delicious.

Not much has changed

The first photo was taken in January of 2020. One of the last times I was in the Coffee Zone. The second photo was taken about a week ago. My life hasn’t really changed all that much. I have discovered a nice strong filter can takes a few years off. And once it was difficult to find a photo of me without a beer in my hand, these days it tends to be a phone.
