- Please say a prayer for Ryan Parris, a fine young man I know by association about four different ways. He has a rare eye disease that is threatening, among other things, his University of Alabama football career.
- Earlier this week my friend Cliff, who is an Uber driver, picked up a fellow who had just been released from prison after serving 27 years for a crime he didn’t commit. (He was exonerated, presumably with DNA testing.) Cliff got to show him the Internet. Then he put some ’80s music on, and told him he hadn’t missed all that much on the music scene. The newly free man leaned back in the seat and cried.
- Today is the 104th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, as well as my father’s 72nd birthday. Happy Birthday, Dad!
- Now Johnny Manziel is a passenger in an alleged hit-and-run incident. If there is a bigger example of shamelessly wasted potential than this guy in the past 20 years, then I don’t know who it is.
- Do the Braves realize the season has started?
- IndyCar has announced a multi-year agreement with MillerCoors, which is welcome news. As exciting as the racing is, the sport has not been financially healthy in a long time. Here’s hoping this is a corner turned.
- Looks like a pretty Saturday, and our soccer game is early. The yard and garage shall receive our sustained attention.

A word of caution for all contact lens wearers :
Acanthamoeba eye infections in contact lens wearers are rare but serious, and they often start because of improper lens handling and poor hygiene.
To avoid Acanthamoeba keratitis, be sure to carefully follow the lens care, handling and wearing instructions you receive from your eye doctor. Proper contact lens care greatly reduces the risk of all contact lens-related eye infections, including those caused by Acanthamoeba.
Thanks for the warnings, Dr. Fred. My eye doctor scared me about neovascularization when I got my first contact lenses nearly 30 years ago! 🙂
Ahhh… That’s why your so smart today because you had taken your eye doctor’s advice and now see clearly through corneas not engorged with blood vessels 🙂
