What a week! Yesterday was my grandmother's funeral , most of the family showed up for the service and "congenial" dinner afterwards.

However, the thrust of today's post was supposed to be a Readers' Digest style piece about getting an eye exam, but that (along with all the programming on the local stations) was trumped by a massive tornadic thunderstorm here in central PA. There was the strong wind, heavy rain, but most of all there was continous lightning (every 3-4 seconds). My apartment lost power twice in one hour. I survived, but I still failed my eye exam.
