Retina, i love you

Retina photograph
John said my retina looks exactly like it’s supposed to.

What will you see when can no longer see?

dad

Was able to see the very top, single letter on the eye chart. Not a top-line letter. The only letter. The biggest letter. The letter that fills the chart. It’s giant.

After 10 seconds, i guessed it was an E.

While i would never bet my life on it, it was my best guess.

i was correct.

Progress.

Truly.

Note: The two previous exams i didn’t even know i was in a room with walls.

This is a screen shot to explain what you might see when this publishes April 14, 2024. Chances are you’re seeing the video below saying “video unavailable”. However, as i write this Sept 5, 2023, clicking on the link “watch on You Tube works. Try that.

i was born and raised one mile outside a small town.

dad

Orlando is our mailing address, but we are less than one mile from Walt Disney World.

We live just a little closer than i lived from Spring Grove, Pennsylvania.

Think about what that can mean to identifying your home town roots.

Eye surgery update, body

Walked four miles yesterday.

Slowly.

No exertion.

Couch potato pace.

Decided to water the palm trees, without exerting myself. Another four miles walking without leaving our yard.

This morning Cheryl and i walked four miles together. Same drill, slow pace.

Another four miles in the yard.

Back to back eight-mile days.

Important food differences

Our formative eating habits come from the person(s) raising us. Rare is the adult raised on world-class habits.

dad

What’s the difference between an important food and a good food?

Depends on your judgement.

Nutritional value.

Essential vitamins, minerals, etc.

Taste.

Ease of preparation.

Cost.

Availability.

Goals.

Peer and societal norms.

Etc.

i lead with nutrition.

RIP Jimmy

iPhone home screen screen shot
September 1, 2023…publicly announced early today, Sept 2. RIP Jimmy.

Jimmy Buffett has been our home’s “house music” since forever ago.

dad

Jimmy Buffett died today. He was 76.

Buffett’s music is our Florida home’s soundtrack.

It dawned on me as i walk right now but i can’t recall Jimmy ever singing about going to the gym or for a run.
