Gnats

Just before leaving work today, I saw what I thought was a small swarm of gnats in the hallway. I followed them all the way out into the lobby, then outside the door. They were with me all the way home and in my backyard when I let the dogs out.

I am a very visual person. I need to see clearly when I'm working behind a 1600 degree flame.

I made a phone call and less than 15 minutes later, I was sitting in my Optometrist's chair having my eyes dilated. The good news is he didn't find a torn retina or any other damage that could lead to loss of vision. The bad news is i cannot torch tonight. And I've got a bead menu five miles long.

Show season is two week away.

Damn gnats...
