This is disappointing, I’m not seeing as well today as I did yesterday. I know this objectively, I had to increase the screen magnification to be able to read on my computer. Perhaps it will snap back. I hope so. My hopes were so high yesterday. I have a slow-motion cold, maybe that’s to blame. On Friday or Saturday somebody coughed right on me. Its slow motion as there were hints of it on Monday, it went away, but keeps coming back intermittently. Right now I feel it in my chest. If my vision stays like this it’s not bad. In the distance I see fine, it’s only looking at my computer I notice the difference.
Last night I went to the Knick game. I went to spend time with Alan; the team has crushed my love for now. By getting rid of Porzingis they put themselves back at square one. There are decent odds that not one player on the team now will never make it to the second round of the playoffs with the Knicks. Their young prospects are not flourishing. They bet it all on signing Kevin Durant but I know I wouldn’t sign the Knicks if given the choice. Why play for a team that not only has a track record of losing but of disorganization? They treat their players terribly. Anyone that is any good wants to leave. I still have fun hanging with Alan.
I have a pro tip. If you go to any event at Madison Square Garden download the MSG app. There is a special line for those with it and you breeze through the security line. They still check you but the line is much shorter. I wish the Mets would do that.
Yesterday, Trump gave the State of the Union address. I didn’t watch. I didn’t watch when Obama was president. I follow the news closely but never saw the appeal of watching speeches. I can get all I need to know from the reports on it the next day.
I’m going to leave it short today. I am tempted to give a jeremiad on the measles epidemic in Washington. I can accurately describe how I feel about it but I don’t know how to get others to change the way they think, and that’s the only reason to write it. That needs to incubate longer and even then might never see the light of day. It’s an idea that’s been incubating most of my life, the crusade for rationality and empiricism.
Tomorrow I’ll be back and perhaps have more to say. I’ll give another vision report. Maybe a health report. Till then farewell wherever you may fare till your eyries receive you at your journey’s end.
