Or not...

So it’s not a corneal ulcer. After more than an hour of waiting - time spent perusing my Vietnam travel book - I finally got in to see the eye specialist this morning. She took one look with her microscope and decided it wasn't an ulcer. She s...

Corneal Ulcer

2009-11-03T20:19:13Z

For the past two days I've felt like there's something in my right eye. But after long inspections in the mirror, I still couldn't find anything. But I knew that feeling. Last time I had it, it was worse. It felt like I had a grain of sand in my...

Great Blue Heron

2009-10-28T13:53:56Z

Over the past few days walking to work, I've spied this little fellow sitting on the banks of the drained canal. She's all hunched up - and I can't blame her, the weather is getting cold - but it's a nice change from the usual seagulls, ducks an...

Earworm Wednesday

2009-10-28T03:08:56Z
