For those of you who knew that we were gone, we're back now. If you didn't know that we were gone, we loaded up truck and camper trailer and went to Colorado Springs for a long weekend and also to Denver for me to get LASICs surgery, since it is less than half the price that the monopoly of Greene vision charges in Wichita. Anyway, after watching the hot-air balloon races early this morning, and driving about 9 hours (in 1.5 hour intervals between shouts of "Daddy I got to go potty BAAADDDD!") my fixed eyeballs are about shot, so this may be the shortest blog ever... Goodnight!
P.S. everything went well, but I did dislike the snapping and crackling of the lasers, followed by the smell of burning flesh. Other than that, it was a piece of cake. I do have to tell that they gave me a stuffed animal in the shape of a pig to hold during the surgery, and I asked the surgeon if it was kosher, 'cause I was an Orthodox Jew. After about 5 seconds of awkward silence, I chickened out and told him I was kidding. He breathed a sigh of relief and told me that he at least had it dry-cleaned weekly, but was unsure if that qualified as kosher; so since it was Friday, I threw it on the floor; its getting washed anyway, right?
