Holy cow! Last week, I wrote the Eye Need Hope Manifesto. This week, actually yesterday, it was accepted as a book on Amazon.com! This is one of those moments where every sentence that I write could literally end with an exclamation point! (see?) If you were to go to Amazon and search “Eye Need Hope”,…
When I started blogging, while being partially BLIND, I said that I wanted to do something with my current circumstances. It’s always been my mission to make “this” count for something. My purpose is to help others that are struggling to handle adversity. These “others” can come from all walks of life with all sorts…
Is it time to go back to the Southwyck Mall in Toledo? Who doesn’t want to go to the mall, not to mention the Lion Store? I hate to break it to you, but they’re both closed. Sorry, but when I was a kid, I used to love this time of the year. Not because we…
From the desk of the eternal optimist. I’m exaggerating and paranoid when I say that, “Something bad happens each time they walk out that door.” It seems morbid, I know, but that’s how I process things…sometimes…not always. My kids, they are my masterpiece. They’re the best thing that I’ve ever had a part in creating….
Are you serious? Yes, I am. You may remember in my last post I told you about the other man in our house, my oldest son. Grant and I had the chance to talk a little last week while he was splitting wood. I loved to see him working hard. Seeing his shirt…
Picture this, I’m in my office (in our basement) with the window slightly cracked for a little fresh air. It’s in the 80’s just before noon. As you might expect it’s another humid day in Ohio. Off in the distance I hear a “thud”. Ten seconds go by and I hear another “thud”. This happens…
OK, the position was never “officially” posted but I’m happy to say that I’m no longer in need of a seeing-eye-dog (for the purposes of golf!). My good friend Cary Allion has stepped to be my seeing-eye-“slink”dog. You may have seen my request last night. If you didn’t, please reply to this note with…
I try not to whine, but some days are hard. This time I opted to leave out the “h” and just have wine and it was good. Connie and I met with Dr. Katz, yesterday, and he told me that he had been thinking about me quite a lot over the past few weeks. This…
As many of you know, I’ve had several surgeries over the past couple of years. Since my last post, on April 2nd, I had an appointment with Dr. Katz, my Neuro-Ophthalmologist. It happened to be the day after my 2 year anniversary of brain surgery. Maybe I was feeling a little extra punchy. Maybe I…
I know that I have things that I need to tell you. I’m just not sure about my delivery. I can’t tell you how many times I wake up in the middle of the night and think about things to write. But, here I sit on Sunday night wallowing in a lack of words. I…
