Tex had another successful cataract surgery last Thursday, and is now seeing 20/20, probably for the first time in 40 some odd years.  he is thrilled.  Cory moved out a couple of weeks ago and is living about a mile away with 3 other college students.  She has a nice room in a converted attic, and is learning to share 1 bathroom with these 3 other people.  Fortunately for Cory, she has a pretty early schedule monday thru thursday, so she pretty much has the bathroom to herself in the morning.  The house has a bench, and a drinking fountain built into the corner of the front yard.  The owner of the house dedicated these items in memory of his mother who used to sit on her lawn chair in the afternoon, with a cocktail, and visited with neighbors as they went by. It's a pretty nice place.  Just finished a good book called Consumption, by Kevin Patterson.  It is a novel that takes place in the Arctic.  It's a little on the dark side, but it still had me looking forward to sitting down and reading it in the afternoon.  Anyone have any recommendations for my next read?
