Legally Blind


“Does it matter? — losing your sight? Thher’s such splendid work for the blind.” — Siegfried Sassoon (not related to Vidal Sassoon)

Yours truly has just been declared legally blind (20/200 corrected eyesight caused by macular degeneration). I have already been denied a driver’s license renewal and am in a state program to help me navigate the exigencies of daily life due to poor eyesight. The only reason I can write this blog is because of the magnification features of an iPad. So kind reader, if I make a typo every once in a while, you will know why ... and please give me a pass?

Small solace: I will get an extra deduction on next year’s taxes ...
