Test Yourself with the Amsler Grid

The grid should be at about the same distance from your eyes that any other reading material would be.

Cover one eye, then focus on the dot in the center.

* Do any of the lines look wavy, blurred or distorted? (All lines should be straight, all intersections should form right angles and all the squares should be the same size.)
* Are there any missing areas or dark areas in the grid?
* Can you see all corners and sides of the grid?
* Don’t forget to test both eyes.

VERY IMPORTANT: Report any irregularity to your eye doctor immediately.

Twilight Zone - Golden Earring

Reminded how much I love this song by the recent Lincoln commercial, I ripped the song from my copy of Golden Earring’s CUT album, created a chord chart, and began playing along with the song. Has now been added to my rock covers playlist. From thought to finish - 1 day.

Skot and Catherine, originally uploaded by Epiclectic.

In loving memory of Catherine Romaine, who quietly passed away this morning at home after a long, hard-fought battle with cancer. Our condolences and prayers are with Skot and the family during this sad time of loss.

Alex Chilton passed away yesterday, and he covered the Seeds “Can’t Seem To Make You Mine”. Search Youtube and you’ll discover that video, as well as this honey.

Thanks to a songbook I received from my son Brian, I’ve been spending time attempting to become another Mark Knopfler wannabe. Here are the tunes I’ve attempted and beginning to play without watching my fingers.

Brothers In Arms
Tunnel of Love
Sultans of Swing

Someday I’ll be getting money for nothing and my chicks for free, if the wife doesn’t catch me. :)
