I'm a baby boomer sci-fi
geek with a laptop.


I stayed up

listening to the whole Coast show last night and after that I did the cbi thing and went back to bed. Again I?ve been up making hourly trips to the bathroom. I think this is a prostrate thing going on. So, I?m trying to not drink anything today but I need a coffee. Maybe that should be nothing to drink after 9pm.

Not much going on this afternoon. Its pretty cold out there ?17/20 and we got some snow over night as well and the weekend we?re going to get a few days over ?20. I haven?t seen ?20 yet during the middle of the day but it?s coming.

My first coffee of the day, ok, I?m trying to read Neal Asher?s Gridlinked but I find reading anything like a novel, tough until I get this vision cleared up. To read email and websites I need reading glasses but to write in my diary and see the letters on the keyboard is okay. Well even the keyboard letters look a bit blurry. I?m typing this in Comic Sans MS 12, which is almost like bold without being bold. I can see all right to get around but for work most names on the screen I need these reading glasses on and they?re hard on the eyes as it is. Anyway that?s about it for me for today.
