I made a really nummy stir fry tonight. K-Bug's friend, who isn't really into veggies, ate everything!

Challenger memory: I was a sophomore in college and had just got out of my morning classes. I'd stopped by the corner store to pick up a diet coke and the Tribune, and heard the radio they were piping over the store's sound system playing the launch, and was thinking, "Why are they playing yet another shuttle launch?" when I really started to listen to what was being said (the radio was replaying the explosion that had happened about 30 minutes before while I was in class). "Oh, my God, the thing BLEW UP??!?" was my question to the clerk at the register, then I ran back to my dorm and turned on my 11" B&W tv.
Obama speech reaction: Rachel was playing the end of the speech at the beginning of her show. I thought that he couldn't sound any more like a Baptist preacher--that cadence was pouring out of him. I'll have to read the transcript because I kept getting distracted by his delivery.

Oh, he really did have his preacher man thing going on, but nice content.

So does anyone want to see my retinas? [link]

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Your retinas are the coolest thing ever! In true Buffista synchronicity, I went to the eye doctor today, too, but all I got for my troubles was the yellow corner of the eye crust from that weird dye they use to look at you.
Oh, and a free pair of trial contacts, and the news that I don't need new glasses (still! since 2002!) and I don't have glaucoma. So really, pretty good on the whole.

I also don't have glaucoma! It only took one try to do the test--sometimes it takes a lot more, because I flinch like a mofo.
I do however need new glasses, but I knew I would.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

One of my eyes took three or four puffs and I just wanted to run away crying because I was just getting more flinchy every time. We all took a deep breath and then the mean lady hit the air blast before I realized what she was about to do. I also do not have glaucoma.

Doesn't your eye doctor put in the numbing drop before doing the puff of air? Mine does, and I love him for it (and other things--he's terrific at explaining everything about my eyes!).

No. I'm not sure it would help too much though. I really do flinch a lot.
