Bo thrills a special youngster in Stroudsburg, PA!

That's Bo Bice for those of you who are not familiar with the name. He was a finalist on American Idol 2 years ago. Anyways, the special youngster that was thrilled in Pa is the son of a good friend of mine. It's a nice article that was posted on Bo's website. My friend said Bo is the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet and he is really really down to earth. Here is the link to the article about little Colin that has now made him the King of his Class at school!

What to Say

Over the past few days I can't seem to come up with anything to post here. I have so much to say and things I want to say but when I get here they don't seem like much. Perhaps sometimes I feel funny sometimes posting things for the "world" to read. Not that the world really comes here to read my ramblings, more like maybe 5 people? :-)

I went for my yearly eye exam the other day and it's still official, I CANT SEE........not that I was expecting a miraculous recovery or anything but I was happy that my vision hasn't changed from last year. That's progess baby! Every year my eyes seem to get worse and worse, guess it's just something in my genes. I am still at -10.5 in both eyes. For anyone out there that does not know what that means, it means I can't see 2 inches in front of my face if I'm not wearing contacts or glasses.

I did at one time inquire about the laser eye vision. I had myself so worked up and excited that after all these years, I would finally be able to not have to wear glasses or contacts. That when I opened my eyes in the morning, I would actually be able to see. Well I made an appointment because it's free to see if I or rather when I would be able to get it done. They did fancy scans and stuff and then they told me..........I did not qualify. I fought back the tears, I was soooooo devastated. I knew it was to good to be true.

The shape of the eye and how they do the laser didn't work. I guess your eye or cornea or something like that is more or less shaped like a cup, like this ) When they laser it they flatten the curve out to let more light? in.........well mine already looks like a flat line and I don't know what key on my keyboard to make that shape other than this turned sideways ____ So basically there is nothing to laser off.

I have heard good and bad about the laser surgery so I guess things happened the way they have for a reason. Not sure why but only God knows. I guess I should be happy that I can atleast still see and I have vision altho not that great, I still have it.

So if you see me driving down the road, get out of my way! :-)
