Cataract Surgery Today

I’m going in for cataract surgery bright and early this morning. Then I’ll have an eye patch for a day, so my next post is probably Thursday. I’m looking forward to clear vision in my right eye!

House of Duaa

Image
  I’m Umair Yasin , and for years, wherever I traveled—Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Qatar, Turkey, and beyond—I would return home with bags full of bakhoor, perfumes, candles, and air fresheners. Each scent carried a memory: the serenity of Madinah, the warmth of hospitality, the calm of a masjid, the quiet luxury of a five-star hotel lobby. I was deeply drawn to how fragrance could instantly transport you, shift your mood, and make a space feel alive and meaningful. But those moments were always temporary. Candles would fade. Sprays would disappear. Traditional bakhoor required time and intention. Eventually, a question stayed with me: why couldn’t this feeling live in our homes all day, every day, in a modern and effortless way? One day, while unpacking yet another collection of scents, my daughter Duaa asked a simple but profound question: “Why can’t we make this for everyone?” That question changed everything. House of Duaa was created as a father-daughter vision to bring the beauty o...

Journey of Discovery

This is the title of an entertaining and inspiring book by Wayne Aho, who rode his bicycle across the United States on the TransAmerica trail at the age of 74, a distance of about 4200 miles. He was a successful businessman for several decades, then had a second career as a business professor at Western Carolina University. He finally retired completely in 2020 and did the ride with three other friends shortly thereafter. They also had the support of one of the friend’s wives, Mary Ann, who followed them with a pick-up truck. http://www.Amazon.com/books I’ve read various books about people cycling across the US, but this one caught my eye because of Wayne’s age, which is a few years older than I am. He and his friends also used an interesting approach.

Group Ride In The Country

Image
I rode with my normal Tuesday group yesterday, on a day that started out gray but turned nice and sunny. We went up into the hills West of Morgan Hill, first around Chesbro reservoir, then up Croy road to the County park at the end, around Uvas reservoir, then through the beautiful Sycamore valley back to the start. I had warmed up for an hour before the start, so this ended up being 3 1/2 hours of mostly easy riding for me. Heading up Croy Road, the country road Karen and I lived on for 24 years More Croy Scenery Swanson Creek (which flows into Uvas Creek) going under a bridge at the Park. There are gorgeous waterfalls this time of year, but you have to hike in to see them, I’ll have to do that soon. from BionicOldGuy https://ift.tt/sGWw87J via IFTTT
