I just came to a strange realization: I am better served in the process of both reading and writing in Word documents when I copy the whole thing and enlarge the font type to 16-point. Is it all downhill from here?
P.S.: No, I really don’t have anything better to talk about these days. I finished my three papers for Music and Theology last week, and am working on a paper for Classical Conversations right now. The most I can do here is confess that the old grey mare, she ain’t what she used to be.

Sadly, I get you with the eyesight. At first, I thought it was no big deal that I was getting all squinty when I was on the computer too long. But then I remembered that I have a 24 INCH MONITOR. Sad.

If it’s any consolation: I have the print on my computers so big that our office manager once told me that she sometimes feels like someone’s shouting at her when she looks at my monitor.
But then, I was wearing bifocals in first grade. The sad thing is that my eyesight has actually *improved* over the last five years or so….

all downhill. Yep. The next thing to go is your memory.
Um, Who am I talking to and what was the question, anyway?

I think some of it is related to white space and design issues as much as it does our aging eyesight. Then again, my Bible is a large print one that I’ve had since I was 17. . .

Embrace 16 point font. I mean, really, who needs small print?

I finally bought a flat screen monitor because I couldn’t get far enough back from my regular one and still reach the keyboard. (eye roll)

Mmm… I know we haven’t had our official phone conversation yet (which is so fine because we are the last surge of the school year and it’s been NUTS – as I’m sure you are also feeling…) Any who… while I’m waiting for our AWESOME phone conversation, would you mind sharing what your top two books on homeschooling – maybe one “why” book and one “how” book? Thank you – and sorry for being lazy and leaving this in your comments section.
