I hope this doesn’t come across as boasting or gloating, but I’m just really happy about it. In an election that probably broke all records for voter apathy, I beat out my nearest competition by 12 - 9. Yeah, I know. Small potatoes and all that, but next to the Dope, it’s my favorite message board. I really enjoy the discussion of philosophy, and I’ve had the opportunity to discuss everything from the modal ontological argument to Schopenhauer’s ridiculous pessimism. I admit that I would have prefered the Religion and Mysticism thread, but what I got was Politics and Law which is just fine.
Anyway, that’s it. Pretty mindless and pointless, but still…
Can’t stay on very long. Doctor’s orders. Our surgery went fine. I was worried because everything was very blurry, like looking through water. But we did our drops and took a nap. When I woke up, I kissed Edlyn, and she opened her eyes. “I can see!” she shrieked. There’s still a bit of a glow on everything, but it’s improving by the hour. I’m especially happy for my wife. She was legally blind, and now she’s easing into nearly 20/20 vision. With no glasses. What can I say but hallelujah.
Thanks for the encouragement. I better sign off now. The board’s a bit bright.
