Like I said, I went to my first in-person conference, and the experience was pretty nice. It was awesome to enjoy things like food and mingling with other attendees. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do about masks, so I usually kept it on unless I absolutely had to take it off, like …

So. Have any of you noticed that sometimes when people talk about PPE it sounds like they’re saying peepee? And if you have, are you like me and giggle whenever you hear that they want to provide everyone with all the peepee they need? How much peepee does someone really need, anyway? Is there a …
So…um…2021 was a thing. It happened. Now it’s over, and I’m not really sure what to say about it, even though it’s now the beginning of 2022 and I should probably reflect on the year that was. It started off crappy, but the possibility of vaccines was there and I thought things would look up …
