I slept badly. My legs ached and behaved badly all night. I'm glad the cats behaved. They were quiet until around 6:00, then I could hear knocks, things rolling, the window blinds getting tortured, and twelve little feet dancing around.

Eyes are great, and I’m at the point where I’m really tired of the eyedrops routine.  :)

Well, I don’t really complain. Believe me. But it will be so fabulous when I’m past that.

Weird dreams. One of them was about me watching a family trying to eat at a restaurant. The boy purposefully tripped the waitress while she was trying to serve, so all the food was ruined. It was on film, which the parents had to be shown. They were asked to leave and were charged for the food, which they eventually paid. They were also told they could never dine there again. The parents never disciplined the boy. The boy ended up wanting to go back, but they couldn’t and he couldn’t believe it.

To combine messages from George and ChasSmith:

George, it seems I do have glaucoma. So, I can no longer stare at a screen for eight hours a day. It was good to retire when I did. Baking doesn’t require looking at a screen, so it is resting my eyes.

The treatment is one eyedrop in each eye, every single night for the rest of my life. If I forget one night, I must take it in the morning.

Some time ago - maybe years - we had a Hellman's vs. Duke's discussion here on HHW and I was firmly in the Hellman's camp.

Two weeks ago WalMart had Duke's on sale so I bought a jar.

I am now firmly in the Duke's camp.  I can't even explain the difference - but it is indeed more tasty and has a better consistency and I am completely converted to the Duke's camp.

The mixer is whirling today. So far I've made a bundt cake, walnut brownies, sugar-free brownies, two dozen cupcakes, and a batch of cream cheese mints. And a pot of soup.

Yum.

I have usher retraining tonight. We are in our tenth year. How did that happen?

Congrats on the tenth year, John!  I don't remember exactly when I started volunteering, but I'm guessing around 1995 or so, so that's the year I tell people.  Close enogh.

Some of the greats:

David Byrne’s American Utopia, before its Broadway run
Pilobolus, which is coming back soon
The former San Antonio Symphony doing Mahler’s Second (twice)
Jimmy Webb
My former classmate Joan Osborne doing an evening of Bob Dylan songs
Mavis Staples and The Blind Boys of Alabama
Garrison Keillor

Very nice!  I've seen so many performers over the years, too.

The Manhattan Transfer
Gregory Hines
Tony Bennett
Natalie Cole
The Pointer Sisters
Judy Collins (at least twice)
Lily Tomlin

And many, many more!

When I got home, I began entering fixes and am now within eighty pages of being done with that. Unfortunately, Muse Margaret's cold or flu has worsened and she's too hoarse to converse, so that may unfortunately have to wait until the end of the week. I have about twenty things to run by her, so it's not that much.

My introduction to Hellman's was around 1970/71 in Cleveland. Prior to that, I'd never paid any attention to whatever mayo we had growing up, but this college friend was making a few of us some good sandwiches and pointed it out, saying it was the only one to get. On moving to L.A. in 1972, I somehow accidentally bought Best, not even knowing it was the same, but it was, so I stayed with it. On moving back east in 1989, it was actually something of a thrill to be able to buy the Hellman's again because it's also just a great name. (Best, in contrast, sounds so generic.)

So would I try Duke's or some other regional favorite? Absolutely. I love trying out regional things, and I'll go with whatever I like. It's doubtful, though, that mayo is something I'd jump ship on. But I would also like to try some good homemade mayo sometime.

John G, glaucoma is indeed treatable. I highly recommend Natural Ophthalmics products for vision issues in general.

It doesn't have any added sugar, but I came across THIS ARTICLE (https://www.eatingwell.com/article/7989316/what-is-japanese-mayo/):

While American mayo is made with distilled vinegar, which is a higher-acid vinegar, Japanese mayo is made with vinegars such as rice vinegar or apple-cider vinegar, which naturally contain some sugar and are lower in acid. This is the reason why Japanese mayo is both tangy and sweet.
