Very bad news on Jane's kitty Efanor…

He's dropped a little weight over the past couple of weeks, then yesterday afternoon refused a favorite  treat. We took him to the vet. Blood tests are very bad. You have to wonder how he looks so good. There's not much can be done except buy a little comfort and some...

The focus on day two is getting clearer.

There is a classic experiment in which a guy put on prism glasses that inverted the image, and he wore them daily. Eventually his brain reinterpreted the image and 'flipped it. When he took the glasses off, the world was inverted. It took time for his vision to...

Can you say ecstatic? The lenses are working.

I've had them on half an hour, and the distance-vision sparkles again! I can read the instructional buttons on the microwave. Reading the computer is still iffy, but there's an adjustment curve on this, and you may just have to put up with my misspelling things for a...

Headed to the optometrist today.

Figuring after the great play debacle, I'd better get something done. I think I'm going to get contacts for far-vision and reading glasses for up-close use with the same contacts. My astigmatism isn't much of an issue in far-vision, but really is close-up, so that's...

Snowing again. 21st April, and it's coming down thick.

Last night we went to a high school play---St. George's was doing Fiddler on the Roof and our good friend Terry is wardrobe mistress (and creator) for most of the school's annual plays. She showed us her lairs at intermission, and we tiptoed about the attic above the...

Want to know how errors get into books?

Here's a sample. I sent Intruder off to my agent in the form he asked for on January 2-?, this year. Last night I got a strange e-mail relayed to me by my publisher/editor from the cover artist asking where the book was and complaining it was going to run him against...

It's snowing. On 18 Apr.

I can't believe it. We skated today: I blew my knee carrying rock up steps with no knee brace, and have been off the ice for a week. Today I wrapped up really well and went out, but I can't wear the shoes I did the damage in, and now the ones I picked as a substitute...
