    Hi Carol,

    Hi folks, cataract surgery before terribly long. Hard to BBS just now
    but alive and well!

    You'll appreciate being able to see again. I had my eyes done in 2020;
    my vision is now 20/25. Decided a couple of years ago that the bother of putting on, taking off reading glasses was a bother so went back to
    progressive bifocals with the top part being basically plain glass.

    We're travelling again, went to a baseball game today with our younger
    daughter and her two boys. First major league game I've been to since
    before I met Steve. We've had some good food on the this trip, from a
    class reunion to a ham radio/rv rally to the Dayton Hamvention to one of
    our favorite Mexican places in southern AZ. More to come as we head
    north tomorrow and home next month. Stopped at a Buc-ees in Amarillo and
    split a chopped brisket sandwich. I don't care for red bbq sauce (chain
    doesn't make them unsauced) but the meat was pretty good for a large
    volume chain place. Found out that the pulled pork sandwich they do has
    a mustard based (South Carolina bbq) sauce; we prefer the eastern NC
    vinegar based sauce.

    Good to hear from you again, hope all goes well with the cataract
    surgery.

    Yes, I hope all goes well. It should. We waited this for Don's moore pressiing need. Hernia surgery. It was his second and ended up taking 3 Doctors (needed more hands in there). That was done on the 12th and he's healing but slowly as expected at age 74. 4.5 months and he'll be 75.

    OB Food note: Terry TTO's Japanese Ginger Sauce/dressing.

    Delightful to add to a fast stir fry (1TB plus compatible oil like sesame). Woks with any type of meat and especially well with peeled shrimp!
