Must Be Uncle Ted Week

March 17, 1967
At least the cake is OK. That is some small kitchen space. Gladys must really be engrossed in her cake decorating because I think you'd hear the door open in a space that small.

And why is the kitchen so small? The Thornapples live in an older house where the kitchen isn't for the owners.

I worry like hell about losing my vision as I get older. Not that bad vision runs in my family or anything, but I still worry. My Mom had Fuchs' dystrophy in the last couple years of her life. Her vision would remain cloudy for two or so hours after waking up. When I went to the eye doctor last year, I asked about it. While it is genetic, it occurs in women more than men so the doctor wasn't too concerned.

I'm sorry, but I'm not losing my vision. I can't. I won't.
