Back to the course, this time with Gail and my brother, this time also with the goal of procuring a Xmas present for my niece, who plays golf rarely but vigorously. By the time we were done we had a little gift basket for her, 15 balls, should last her a round or two. She was delighted.

Christmas Day, seemed like a good time to take a walk at the local golf course as it was closed for the day. More precisely, it was also free for the day, quite a few were out anyway. A very pleasant stroll, chatting up quite a few souls, and everyone friendly and in the Christmas spirit.

In Austin to visit my brother and his family. Still no running. A couple of walks by Town Lake and a couple at Lions. Very enjoyable visit, glad we went.

Note
An excellent visit to the eye doctor today. Everything looks OK, pressure is fine. I asked about the left retina, should we be thinking about doing something to it. He said right now the risk/reward ratio wasn't good. He'll keep an eye on things, have a look and a laser scan every 6 months. If it stays as is, no sense in doing anything.
And the vision in the right eye is excellent.
Which really changes a few things, like when I'm driving, or watching TV, or playing golf. Which, the golf, I've been doing a bit of this last week, even if it is not really the season. Last time out it was about 33F and a steady wind out of the NW, but I was moving quickly (2:20 for the round) and had four layers on top, and pretty comfortable. And my game is better, it seems, which is fun, and I can certainly see where the ball goes, which makes it a lot more fun.
Back to the eye doc, his first comment was, "That's an interesting blog you've got." I'd sent him a little stuff, plus a couple of photos (the recent one from Quantico, and Cyclops from a few years ago). He said he was really glad I hadn't come in the day after Quantico, not sure how he would have dealt with that. Anyway, we had a lively and amusing discussion, with him saying at some point, "You're right, you're not my usual geriatric." :-)
And I'm convinced, whether it's actually true or not, that I get much better care as a result of all this.
