About Me
Things that are Awesome (with apologies to Jesse Thorn) - A list in progress
- Broken Windmills A graphic novel in progress by my cousin R.
- Cooking Nurse I like some of the recipes better than others, but this blog's charming style is what keeps me coming back.
- Dreaming of Danzan Ravjaa Brother Konchog is an American Buddhist monk living in Ulaanbataar. He is also a wonderful observer of nature and a keen birdwatcher.
- eShakti Oh, how I love these clothes.
- Hark, a Vagrant Comics by Kate Beaton, who is apparently as much of a history geek as I am.
- Natalia's blog Natalia is smart and funny and I want her on my team.
- The Sound of Young America I still think that Terry Gross is the world's greatest interviewer, but Jesse Thorn runs her a close second.
- Writing as Jo(e) Jo(e)'s relationship with her teenagers gives me hope for the future of parenting; and her writing about wonder in the world is often much like what I hope to achieve in this blog.

Yeah, I remember when I started doing that. I don't know what it means, maybe just noticing you can see up close better that way. I don't think you're as nearsighted as I. I was renowned in the second grade for not seeing the big E on the eye chart.(20/1100) Apparently the more nearsighted one is the more literally magnified ones close up vision is. We can see things just past our nose that a 20/20 person would need a magnifying glass for. An optometrist once told me that there was a statistically significant early reading age for the myopic over others. Tipping us away from baseball towards nerd-dom at the same time.
Middle age starts a lot earlier than you think!
Oh, another thing: One tends to grow more far-sighted with age. That is to say, less myopic. Crissie recently needed new glasses because her old glasses were too strong.
