My new lunch bag
Today while presenting at one if our clinics in Woodland I came upon a box of lunch bags. I'm not beneath begging and my new friend sent me home with one.
Great compartments and folds down in my computer bag.
Successful day

20/20 Vision
Ever since I have had a grown up job where I could afford to budget and spend money on myself I have wanted to get vision correction done.
In fact Tami and I had our first consult together in 1994 (and as I'm typing this realize that was when I was 22).
Every other year I have gone to the doctor to see if the newest advances were something they could be done for me (near sighted in one eye, far sighted in other, terrible astigmatism in both. And to top it off super thin eyes that can't have LASIK because there isn't enough eyeball).
In 2007 when I gave up trying to wear contacts my doctor told me about implantable lens. At the time they were trialling non-astigmatism and he expected approval in the upcoming months. His prediction was the that the astigmatism would be approved at the end of 2008.

Each visit still a no go
Last November I was snorkeling in Cancun with Chris, Arturo and Tarzan and a lot frustrated with their glee of the wondrous underwater creatures. Back in Chris' casa on Merida I started researching again.
Still no FDA approval, but they had no successfully done tens of thousands south and north of the border. And most impressively with a very published physician in Belgium.
Tarzan,"we are headed to Belgium!"
I contacted the doctor in Belgium and then I went to see my doctor to see if he would do my aftercare. While there he explained why the FDA hadn't approved (trials too successful and the manufacturer of the lens got into a disagreement with the pleasant government agency), he did not expect approval for the next several years - but did have a colleague who had a high regard for Arturo Chayet (a doctor with a practice in San Diego and Tijuana who is in expert in lens placement and one of the founders of the latest LASIK technology).
Tarzan, "we are headed to Tijuana"
For fun in February we brought Jess along for a LASIK consult. We were both perfect candidates for our respective surgeries. My lens were ordered from Switzerland and the wait began for their arrival.
Tick tock ;)
Finally I was able to schedule for July 30 and August 1. And Jess for August 1. I reserved a villa by the beach for recovery and over planned our trip to/from Tijuana. (Even downloading a app that tells you the current wait at the border to ensure the least amount of time waiting to cross).
All instructions said almost an immediate recovery but I was still skeptical.
Yesterday am I got a clean bill of health, feel great (Tarzan says my eyes look huge) - we both and 20/20 vision.
The world is a brighter place!

Key landmarks
I always laughed when I lived in Minnesota and the directions would go something like this :
"Drive about 2 miles, once you go over the small hill loom for the bar with the green door next to the VW"
The directions for our villa in Mexico topped them all (and keep in mind I was stressfully looking for Jesus)
"Once you see Foxploration (Fox Baja Studios on the left you there will be a slight turn on the highway, once you see the giant JESUS on the right you are looking for the next set of tall white buildings"
(oh there he his-bigger than most buildings- and by the way up close he has a life size painted red heart on this robe)

Have a Coke with......
KT has been annoyed/perplexed/left out in that she can't find a can of coca cola with Kimberly on it (her entire family has been located, none with Kim or Kimberly)
Mexico is not much better
But I did find a display with my name ;)

Great social experiment
While at the District at MJM in Vegas we ran into these "men" at the CBS studio. I saw my "man" and posed with him, then people watched for 20 minutes on who posed with who.
The cutest chicks picked Sheldon, the trashiest picked Tom and mostly men posed with the duo.

We Got Ashed
Anyone who is loved by Tarzan has experienced the moment after dinner where every desert on the menu has been ordered. If you haven't had the opportunity then he may still love you, it just wasn't the right menu.
Tonight wasn't much different as his neices and nephew got Ashed!

My cute sandal woes
Tami has my dad's body. I on the other hand have my mothers.
This is actually a great thing. No watery eye, hot feet.
I do however have these cute pinkie toes (their twin sisters reside on my mom's foot)
that make buying sandals a major hassle.
