    Knee is feeling pretty good. I've been pushing it pretty hard in the gym so sometimes it hurts but it's all "good pain". I think...

    Anyway, I realized my eyesight was going to shit when I basically failed my eye exam getting my real ID (she passed me and told me to get my eyes checked). Went to the eye doctor and yep my eyesight is definitely going to shit. I don't want to have to wear glasses everywhere so I also ordered contacts. They came in and this morning I had contact lens school with someone at the office showing me how to put them in and take them out, etc. The only problem is that everything is massively blurry when I have them in. I was only supposed to wear them 4 hours today and I kept thinking it was my brain and/or it was due to the general eye trauma of sticking my fingers into my eyeballs so much trying to get them in the first time. It never got better.. Something is fucked up. I could hardly read my phone with them in. Close, medium, far... Everything blurry. And yeah I'm sure they were facing the right direction. Not great. I guess I'll try again tomorrow and call the office on Monday if it doesn't get better. Getting old sucks. 

    Are you sure they're in the correct eyes?

    It's consistently been an hour plus during the week over the past several months.

    With the the Michelin star earlier this year and the TM Top 50 coming out last month, that makes sense.  I think la Barbecue still has ordering online without a minimum of 5lbs or whatever most places have. 

  3. Are you paying any of the school with education savings accounts like a 529?  If so, you'll get a 1099-Q which you'll want to match-up with the 1098-T tuition statement from the school.  Otherwise, you might risk having to pay taxes on the growth in the 529.  I try to minimize audit risks, so I distributed the 529 payments to the kids and they paid tuition.  All of that ran through their tax returns.  If not, disregard.

    Shark was named Bruce after Spielberg's attorney. 

    The shark in Finding Nemo was named Bruce after the Jaws shark.

  5. It's been on my list since it came out.   We watched it over the weekend. 

    Perfectly done.  The camera work was great and the acting was incredible.

    Looks magnificent- How did you catch wind of the event?

    Probably Instagram.  Not surprisingly, following barbecue joints is about the only reason I have an Instagram account.

    He just offered me some cheese that, and I quote, "may or may not have been on [his] genitals." 

    I would not eat that cheese.
