A cool grey late July morning in Anchorage Alaska.

Patti’s flowers were able to survive our 3-week trip.

It is a wonderfully cool grey 60 degree F morning. Now another ‘recovery-from-jet-lag’ commences!  It took me pretty much the entire three weeks in Michigan to fully recover from the 4-hour-jet-lag flying to Chicago and Detroit July 2nd, 3rd and 4th.  Last night I ‘crashed’ out at 10PM (2AM in Michigan) and awoke at 6AM (10AM in Michigan) this morning.

Patti’s flowers out-in-the back also survived (mostly said Patti).

Oh By The Way.

This upcoming Thursday, I have cataract eye-surgery on my right eye and one week later do-it-again on my left eye. 

I have successfully put-this-surgery-off since January of 1999 .. yes for 14-some-years .. to the seeming amazement of my several Ophthalmologists. Thank you Google and Wikipedia ! What would we ever do without you !

In April of 2008 at my local DMV Office .. in reading the eye chart I rattled-off the correct letters with no hesitation. There was a LONG PAUSE .. and the DMV agent quietly said .. “Sir .. we are looking for numbers here !” .. with no hesitation I snapped off six numbers !  “That will be all right.”  I was advised.  I am here-to-tell-you all that 20-20 perfect eyesight is not necessary for safe driving.

What fun it was to ‘text’ some of you this past Friday and Saturday as Patti and I worked our way across Michigan to Chicago on Amtrak then flew North to Anchorage. 

Smiles .. Cap and Patti
