    Default Surgery tomorrow (which is now today, and it went okay)

    I'm going to go to sleep and wake up, God willing, with a new lens in my left eye, which is going to be a flipping relief after a few years of trying to relearn how to shoot, while left-handed and right-eyed. Cataract surgery isn't quite the chore that it used to be, but I have significant risk factors for not making it off the table.

    Supposedly, cross-eye dominance is a non-issue, but adding in having to switch hands and the loss of acuity in the dominant eye, and you have a real c-f situation. So, I'm looking forward to the next few days while I get used to a closer semblance to normal binocular vision.

    Have a good day tomorrow, people!

    I may have to sacrifice another Primanti Bros. sammich to please the gods of eye repair.

    I'm actually not sure if eating a sammich will help you, but the last one was so darned good, it can't hurt to try.


    Here's to a speedy recovery!
    I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

    Hope to see you soon, or perhaps for you to see us.

    Don't be surprised if what you ask for isn't what you really want (like seeing my ugly face), but for the record, the right eye is 20/40 uncorrected, and 20/20 corrected.

    The mixed blessings probably go both ways

    Say hi to Joel Bruno for me if you ever run into him. He should have been about four years ahead of you, maybe five, going through school, if you're from Middleburg.

    WOW! There's a name I haven't heard in a while. I might actually have to break out an old yearbook because I know that name I just can't put a face to it. I think you're right he would have been about that far ahead of me. Small world isn't it?
