For our first real outing in a very long time, we spent the afternoon in Northampton. Ate falafel on the street, listened to a church choir, who were dressed in their 1830's best, performing on the city hall steps, (which, @recstar24, was unpredictably lovely and a reminder of the importance of singing and performance) saw some jazz further down the street, and generally saw lots of people out and about. A nice reminder than not every place is Hartford.

Just before they pulled the patch off of my eye, they told me that more times than not, your vision won't be fully matured for about a week. Then they took off the patch and immediately tested my vision. Right out of the gate I could easily read the 20/20 line of the chart. I could read all but two of the letters on the 20/15 line. The Dr. told me that at my appointment next Thursday, she wouldn't be at all surprised if my vision was 20/15. She said that happens in about the top 10% of patients. I couldn't be happier. It's so nice to be able to see in stereo vision once again. It's been about 2 years since I've had any real vision out of my right eye. And my depth perception is fully back! I may need readers in a dark restaurant, but I'm typing and reading this now with no glasses on.😎

Happy birthday, Kerry! (party favour noise)

It might be the tommy gun under one arm and the sacks with dollar signs printed on them in the other?

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Kerry!

Happy Birthday Kerry!

Glad to hear it, Doug, and hope you bounce back soon, KD. Second shot hit me hard also but the side-effects were gone after a day or two. Our mask mandate in California lifted on Tuesday and most people here in Marin County don’t seem ready to take them off. I went out for coffee and bagels this morning and I think I was the only person without a mask. I am sorry, folks, get used to it! We are maybe the single most vaccinated region of the entire country. Don’t look at me like I’m some kind of “republican.”

Man, I haven't been in NoHo in what feels like 2 year (pre-covid) and I live like 25 minutes from it. I kind of miss the place, in spite of the fact that I spent what feels like half my life there doing lights in nightclubs. I wish I could go there right now, TBH. There's a marijuana distro there called Canna Care and I could really go for some low dose edibles. I got my second dose of Moderna yesterday and it is really kicking the shit out of me. Last night was an endless series of fever dreams (including one where I was trapped in my own Steam profile while I was in a Discord call where no one could hear me) and today is all about soreness and fatigue. It is my plan to do my radio show tonight, but it will be what they call a "game time decision" in baseball.

Happy Birthday, Kerry!

Have a great one Kerry! Cheers!

Happy Birthday, Kerry!

Have a blast!

Great to hear! Here’s hoping that’s a tradition that continues (outdoor choral ensemble singing).

Cheers Kerry - Happy Birthday

This is so awesome, thank you for posting this. It's like a bizarre combination of Pentatonix and Nightwish, I love it. 😸

Protip: If you are running an entity that is trying to control and dominate those without power, don't chose a song that is against that very thing.

I was always more of Jane Jetson type of guy.

That's really great to hear. Congrats. Also ignore anyone's comments about stereo vision being out and Apple's spatial vision being in.

Arrrrgggh Matey! 🏴‍☠️

Sunday morning a cappella metal? sure... (well a cappella with drums)

I definitely prefer meatier bacon, but mostly just for cardiovascular health reasons. The pepper & mustard seed recipe sounds amazing though, I'd still WANT what you're cooking.
