High SPF lotion for the face, spray for the body. You can reach your own back with the spray if necessary, but a companion helping you is more comfortable and accurate. Rub the back of your hands together with either lotion or spray to get that skin covered without greasing up the pads of your fingers and palms. That last trick works well for day to day moisturizing products.
…and for those of you blonds, gingers, and others as pale as I am, reapply every hour, stick to the shade, wear a hat, sunglasses, and be extra careful about your exposure between 10am-2pm.
…or simply stay indoors and take a sigh of relief!

It's really best to use a whole separate SPF made specifically for your face.

The only downside to sunblock spray is the face.  I've tried spraying into my hands then rubbing on my face, but it still occasionally runs into my eyes and stings.  Best stick with lotion for the face, then body spray everywhere else.

Spray works.
It's a little creeper asking strangers to 'get your back'
Plus, we all use cell phones, all the time, and most people don't want to get their hands greasy.

Indeed, very practical, also for other body parts.

Sunblock spray

On Amazon, search for "sunscreen back applicator" and you'll get a huge variety of options. Some even fold up easily for travel. Some have video demonstrations. All have reviews that you can read through to see how they've worked (or haven't) for others. And sure, feel free to ask a handsome stranger if you're willing to trust your luck. 🤞😉It could end up being a fun "how we first met" story to tell at your wedding.

Marcos Giron has been playing great recently and reached a career-high ranking of #44.  As a player climbs the rankings, tennis broadcasters start showing more of his matches.  Watching Giron's matches are worth your while just for the shirt changes ...
 

Every once in a great while, I buy a box of Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter which I have for dessert, a guilty pleasure that takes me back to childhood.  But I have no desire to have it, nor any other cereal, as my dinner.
I haven't bought Peanut Butter Crunch in a long time because the price jumped so much -- eek!

Taking this slightly off subject:

Poverty level families didn’t need a CEO to tell them to eat cereal for dinner…many already do.😣

I eat whatever I am in the mood for, no matter the time of day.  Then again, I sleep for a few hours a couple of times a day and do not have anything near a regular schedule.  I often stay up all night & sleep during the day.  I had pot roast at 6 AM yesterday.

As someone who works in healthcare, our Healthcare system is designed by rich white STRAIGHT men, for rich white STRAIGHT men.  We put the best hospitals ckinics and clinicians in affluent areas (we call it a "good payer mix", payers being insurance).  We schedule services during normal working hours.  Majority of information is in English, and staff are English speaking.  We don't really attempt to understand peoples' cultures, norms, preferences, or unique factors that affect their health.  Research dollars disproportionately go to solve problems of rich white STRAIGHT men.  Visiting hours don't accommodate ppl who work odd hours, or multiple jobs.  It's hard to even get a routine lab draw done outside of "normal working hours".  I could go on and on.
I'll offer you an example.  I had a minor surgery recently where I stayed overnight in the hospital.  I brought my usual daily meds with me including my PREP (Truvada).  Well, the fact that I brought my own meds triggered a huge drama.  A nurse manager was called, then a pharmacist was called to the room.  They held the plastic ziplock bag up "what's this blue pill"?.  They took the pills away for investigation.  They came back 2 or 3 times to ask more questions.  Meanwhile, they must have said the word Truvada (at full volume) what felt like 100 times....in my 10X10 room with a STRAIGHT roommate whose family was visiting.  It sounded and felt like Truvada Truvada Truvada Truvada Truvada Truvada Truvada Truvada Truvada Truvada Truvada Truvada Truvada.   All while recovering from anesthesia.  No consideration about my privacy, or that being on that particular med might be sensitive information.  THAT is what a healthcare system designed by rich white STRAIGHT men looks and acts like.  

I became sexually active fairly young (17), so most of the gay men with whom I had sex in the early years were older than I was, and most wanted to, or expected to, fuck me. They seemed to stereotype me as a "twink," since I was average height (5'10") and very slender, and I was attracted to taller men who were well built and hairy, so they often were taken aback when I resisted the classic script. As a result, when they did fuck me, I was usually less than enthusiastic about it, and rarely maintained an erection while being fucked.
The first time that I discovered that getting fucked could actually be pleasurable occurred in my early 20s. I was a regular at a local gay bar in Philadelphia, and one of the bartenders was a favorite with many customers. I found him physically and personally very attractive, and I was told by other regulars that he had a big cock and loved to fuck, and he was good at it. One night he suggested at closing that he would like to accompany me to my apartment, and I said yes. Because I liked him and already knew what to expect, I was relaxed and prepared to make the best of the experience. When we tumbled into bed we were still partly dressed, and he quickly took me from behind. He whispered sweet nothings in my ear as he slowly fucked me while jerking me off, and to my own surprise I came explosively at the same time he did! It wasn't until he withdrew that I saw his cock, and was shocked at the size of it--how could I possibly have taken that?! The answer, of course, was that I was strongly attracted to him, was psychologically prepared, and he was an expert at what he did to make me enjoy the whole physical and emotional experience. Unfortunately, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but he did make me realize that it was possible.

I really enjoyed Looking but wasn't a fan of this one. It's just not how I experience grief and it came across to me as more stylized than authentic. But to each his own! And happy to support an earnest effort from Andrew Haigh (and my local art theater!) anyway.
 

Congratulations Team Carota!!  Wow, coming back from a 2 sets to love deficit is a helluva feat.  So happy for Jannik, such a deserving first-time Slam champion.  At the same time, you gotta feel sorry for Daniil, who lost his 5th Slam final and his 2nd after leading 2 sets to love.
This is Sinner's first Slam victory, but it won't be his last.  He has the game to win many many more in his career.  We'll be seeing a lot more goofy carrot costumes in the stands.

Yes, I am quoting myself. Carota delivers! What a comeback!

For me, there has been a distinct difference in the general feeling around Liz Magill and Claudine Gay. I think you could argue that they both "couldn't navigate a delicate situation." But only one of them seemed to be questioned regarding whether she ever deserved the position to begin with. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't get a general sense that people doubted whether Magill ever should've been president in the first place.
It just seems to me like Magill's failure was "allowed" to be "she made mistakes" without question on whether she was qualified to be president, whereas Gay has been less "she made mistakes" and more "she was a diversity hire."

An epic final. Forza Italia!!

For those who don't get the reference, Team Carota is a group of guys who support Jannik Sinner by wearing goofy carrot costumes in the stands.  I, like most I think, assumed the carrots were a nod to Sinner's red hair, but it's actually because Sinner has the odd habit of eating carrots during changeovers.
The Djoker-Shelton drama resurfaced in this Australian Open, with Novak saying that Shelton showed disrespectful behavior in their USO match.  Unfortunately, no rematch on court.  Although they were slotted to meet in the 4th round, unconventional veteran Mannarino upset Ben in the 3R.  Ben's dad & coach Bryan admitted that the drama was a distraction for Ben, who when asked about it said he just wanted to put it behind him.
Here's a video about Sinner's carrot-garbed supporters:

Thanks for the news about Pete's wife.  I didn't know she was battling cancer.  In that long 2 years before the 2002 US Open, tough times when his ranking dropped and he didn't win a single tournament, his wife's support never wavered.  I remember him saying that was the one silver lining in all his struggles, at least he knew he married the right one.  Now it's his turn to support her.  I pray she beats the cancer and gets back to 100%.

I've lived in Chicago my entire adult life and I'm willing to try and answer any questions. I should mention a monthly LGBTQ+ storytelling show.  It's called Outspoken Chicago and it takes place the first Tuesday every month at Sidetrack.  There is no cost to attend these true personal narratives but an ID is required to show proof of age at the entrance. 

Like most fluffy coated creatures, I sleep better in the cold (55 degrees ideally). As a result, my heat is never turned on. I use a space heater instead.
 
It was 50 degrees indoors last night.
