Do you ever notice, life seems a lot simpler when we slow down and eat together? In the late 90’s with 3 small children, Connie and I started a tradition that goes on until this day. For those of you that know me, you’ll not be surprised that it revolves around food. It started in…
One of these days I’m really going to accept who I am. There’s something about being “that guy” that grows tiresome. I took my car in for an oil change last week. Could have been a Victoria’s Secret supermodel and not have gotten any more looks. They must have wondered, “how did that guy get…
Regardless of the title, this story does have a happy ending. Shortly before 6:00 AM I woke up without the alarm clock, as is usually the case. I’d actually been awake since 5:30 seeing what I could see. Nothing had changed. I got out of bed and walked down to the hall and went into…
Last Friday was my scheduled Six-Month Checkup with my Neuro-Ophthalmologist. Ophthalmologist What a screwed up way to spell a weird word. Anyway, earlier this week, the doctor’s office called and said that Dr. Katz was going to be out on medical-leave for 10 weeks. Crap. We had the opportunity to meet with his “Fellow” Dr. Collins…
… It MAY be time to switch seats. I’m coming to the realization that most drivers with two good eyes SHOULD be better drivers than me. This week I decided to have Connie do the night driving. It wasn’t an easy decision for me, but probably for the best. When I got back my driving…
I told you last week about, my oldest son, Grant’s great taste in music. Well, this week I went to my companies National Sales Meeting. He gave me his old iPod to listen to during my flight there and back. It was very nice to be able to close both my eyes and relax. When…
Do you remember me telling you that my oldest son, Grant, set me up with some tunes for the first few months of this ordeal? Since that time, even with improved vision, I’ve gotten more into listening to music. You name the type of music and I think I’ve listened to it. Pop, Rock and…
There’s no way for me to sugarcoat it. The last 10 months have been rough. It’s taken time getting used to my dynamic eyesight. In December I met with, Ken Kreager, an old friend of mine from work that had suffered severe burns, in a gas explosion, when he was 8 years old. Upon seeing…
When I was in college there were many times that I was about to give up. I had tried many different ways to learn and take tests with success. After a few years of this the University of Toledo told me, college may not be for you. They sent me a letter indicating that my…
It was July 28th, 2000 and I had just started a new job at IBM and they had sent me to Chicago for orientation. That evening I called an old friend, Sara, and we sat down and had dinner together. We talked for hours about what has been going on in our lives and with…
