It's been ten years since my last eye test. My husband decided after watching me hold small print at arms length (embarrassing at a restaurant) that it was time to go again. Today I'm wearing my new glasses with no-line Bi-Focals. I feel so old. I can't see anything. That's not exactly true, I can see ... but if it's not directly in the center of the lens, it's blurry as hell! Assuming, of course, that hell is blurry. If you don't move your head, but try to look left or right it's all blur...

I love my RX7 - I've posted about it many times.

.... However ....

An opportunity to get a 1983 Porsche 944 has come up - at a good price - and I wanted everyone's opinion.
I do know that they need regular maintenance (new timing belt and water pump at about every 45,000 miles) and they basically need a new clutch at about each 55,000. This is all well and good, but each item is very expensive, for example the clutch could reach $1500 - $2000 alone. The...

They just finished rehearsing here in N'ville (Fripp stays at Belew's house which is just down the road. And yes, we watched the local Starbucks to see if we could catch Fripp...

The Robins are back, we've had a couple days in the 70's and I've got a bush with a bunch of pretty pink flowers on it. Spring! Woo Hoo!

This year though, my Tulips and Daffodils only produced leaves, no flowers.

My yard is 90% weeds. Sorrel, Henbit, Violets, Moss, and some kind of funky evergreen. Not the most beautiful sight, but it's near impossible to grow grass under the two old Sugar Maples that shade most of the front.

Time for...

I'm looking over my desk at the two exercise machines who's sole purpose is to keep dust from getting on the carpet. One of them is an Elliptical that my daughter promised she'd use, and she did for a short time. The other is an old push-me pull-you bike sort-of contraption that looks like it came straight out of the black depths of David Lynch's mind. We're just not the exercising type. We try, but unfortunately, we can think of a bajillion other things we'd rather be doing, and so we do. ...
