Beards and masks don’t get along. For a few weeks now, I have wondered if/when I would need to shave so I could benefit from wearing a mask. My eye doctor called yesterday about Tuesday’s treatment. Jen will meet me at the office door with a mask and gloves for me to wear. She will be wearing a mask as will the doctor. I need to protect him, her and myself so, yes, I shaved off my beard of 43 years. It’s weird but it’s temporary. Siri made me redo my facial ID to access my iPad etc. Photo attached. Stay safe We can do this!
