2020 is almost over. I wish turning the calendar page did so much more than just change the date... I've been teaching from home for one and a half semesters now. It's different, but not as different as some people make it out to be, I think... Gib5on has been going to online school for one and a half semesters - or the equivalent thereof. Academically I don't think it has made much of a difference. Socially, well that's another story... I have had a broken foot for several weeks now. It is some kind of penance for Gib5on's broken leg earlier this year. Here's hoping 2021 proceeds without fractures... We have a nice pandemic pantry. Nothing too irrational, but a good stock. To date it has been unnecessary... Finishing the basement last year turned out to be prescient. All this home time would have been much more difficult without it... Sabian is like *this* close to talking. I don't think she's really noticed the stay at home much even though she's been out of daycare for one and a half semesters... You would think that having a kid out of daycare would be a financial windfall. You'd be wrong... My bike has been sitting in the garage since I broke my foot. It might be there for months now. I had thought I'd lost the keys, but they turned up in Gib5on's snow boot... Mrs. TANBI continues to revolutionize American health insurance. COVID has meant no work trips for her, but for some reason way way more meetings... It would be really nice to go on a trip, or go to a movie, or see some family but it all feels like too big a risk these days. That's too bad... I really hope the leadership has their crap together for the Electoral College tally. We keep saying things won't happen these days right up until they happen... No First Night for us this year. Another on the list of things we won't be doing: Kennywood, Idlewild, Sandcastle, Phipps Winter Lights, Pirates, Steelers... The kids haven't seemed to miss that stuff and we say we do those things for them - maybe it is a little for us though... Here's to a happier and healthier 2021...

Worth a Look
Here are a few posts from last week's Greenpage that might be worth your time...
Germany announces €2.5bn event cancellation fund
IQ Magazine: The German federal government has announced a €2.5 billion cancellation fund to allow event organisers to plan for the second half of 2021 without the financial risk posed by a potential Covid outbreak.
The Ableist Effects of Creating “Post-Pandemic Theatre” During a Pandemic
HowlRound Theatre Commons: When theatre houses around the world shuttered their doors back in March, we were all devastated. We watched our entire community lose everything from their income and health insurance to university admissions and even visa opportunities. Manhattan traded twinkling lights for refrigerated trucks. We stayed inside. We grieved.
When Culture Really Began to Reckon With White Privilege
The New York Times: “Dear White American Theater.” So opened the scathing statement released on June 8 and signed by some of our most influential playwrights and directors who are Black, Indigenous and people of color. “We see you. We have always seen you,” the letter read a few lines later. “We have watched you pretend not to see us.”
A Key First Step For A Smart Contact Future Just Happened
by NoPro Newswire | Dec, 2020 | No Proscenium: The Guide To Everything Immersive: We’re still a long way from Smart AR lenses, but we’re a little closer as of today The dream tech for augmented reality isn’t smart specs — we all saw what happened with Google Glass — it’s smart contact lenses. While it will be years before such a thing comes to market, there are certain steps that need to take place.
Here’s what readers think of COVID-era virtual arts
Los Angeles Times: For Pamela Geisel, the performing arts — even in their virtual state — have been a lifeline during the pandemic. Geisel, 65, has spent much of the year driving between Burbank and Prescott, Ariz., which is home for her parents, who have dementia. In between caregiving responsibilities, she has caught at least 10 shows, including Los Angeles Philharmonic highlights at the Hollywood Bowl, Stephen Sondheim’s 90th birthday bash and virtual conversations hosted by arts organizations.
