Dining Out. David Goldstein Discusses Low Vision

Dining out. David Goldstein discusses low vision.

I love going out for a meal. It is one of the few pleasures in life I still enjoy. I use to go to the movies, attend huge amounts of Phillies and Flyers games each season, and go to the bookstore to browse. I’ve been to one Phillies game this season and we still go to the bookstore (mostly to take the kids,) but I really don’t enjoy it. (I haven’t been to the movies in over two years and really miss it. See my post Missing the Movies.) I do still love eating and do so four or five times a day.

Attending a Trade Show. David Goldstein Discusses Low Vision

I just returned home from Affiliate Summit East in New York City. Affiliate Summit is an internet marketing conference that includes education sessions as well as an exhibit floor where companies chat up their products and services. Due to my limited eye sight, show management was kind enough to provide me with an additional show pass for my wife to assist me at the conference. She takes notes at the education sessions and guides me around the exhibit floor.

Low vision and missing the movies

With the release of the final Harry Potter movie this summer and all the hype that came with it, I was thinking how much I miss going to the movies. We use to go several times a month. I love movies so much that the first business I owned was a West Coast Video store franchise. My wife and I quote movies so often in our every day lives that our daughter gets mad at us, since she has no idea what we’re talking about most of the time.

Public Bathrooms and Low Vision

Low Vision and the public bathroom

I drink a lot.  No, not alcohol, mainly water.  Usually between two to three liters per day.  I supplement that with a mug of herbal tea in the morning and a trenta iced tea in the afternoon.  So, at various times throughout the day, I gotta go.

When is it Time for the White Cane?

White Cane

We had very nice weather on Saturday, so my wife, daughter, and I went to Suburban Square in Ardmore, PA for lunch and some shopping. Suburban Square is an outdoor shopping area with local and national branded stores and restaurants. Unfortunately, we weren’t the only ones who had the idea to have a look around.

Planting Our Garden

Planting Our Garden

Like the previous eight or nine springs, we’ve decided to plant a vegetable and herb garden. When we started, I planted only a few things and used those old whiskey barrels (my wife and I still laugh when we think about bringing those home from the store, with all the windows in the SUV opened because of the intense smell of whiskey in the car.) The barrels were easy to plant and maintain. We’d plant a zucchini plant in one barrel, a tomato plant and jalapeno pepper plant in another, and basil, rosemary, and few other herbs in the third barrel. That worked okay until we wanted more veggies.
