Hallo Andrew!

  MK>> senior's moments are noticeably on the increase.  :-/

 AA> Ah.. Benjamin Button's syndrome? ;)

Heh, heh.  Without knowing for sure I believe I am more or less average for my age regarding frequency of senior's moments ... and yes I am officially in the realm of seniors (65 and over).

 AA> I had cataract surgery in my right eye on Oct 2 and my left is
 AA> scheduled for the 16th. Surgery went well, very smooth, no
 AA> problems. My distance vision in my right eye is darn near perfect.

Good to hear.  I don't have cataracts but my vision started going south in my late 40's.  Before that I had 20/20 vision in both eyes, as well as excellent peripheral and night vision.  The peripheral vision is still good but everything else is nowhere as good as it used to be.  Mind you I could say the same about everything as time goes by.

 AA> I got some OTC reading glasses

I can relate.  Also I am using kbd's LatGrkCyr-12x22 consolefont so I can read these msgs without glasses.  Works like a charm.  Everything else I definetly need glasses.  :::sigh:::

 AA> How are things on your end?

At the moment I am doing okay all things considered.  However some extra cash for an epyc server wouldn't hurt my feelings any.  I see a supermicro one that has caught my eye but my bank account says it is a no-go.  Stinkin' banks.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
