When you’re old enough, friends pop up in the oddest way

Celebrities are full of stories about their exploits, their famous friends, who they mix with, who they work with. It’s often to do with the size of their billing, or their latest agent’s gaffes. Then there are the less famous. People like me, with stories more down to earth, but, I think, more interesting, unless you’re a fan follower.
This is by way of saying that I went to a play the other evening, at the East-West Theatre downtown, a play called “Wrinkles”. Couldn’t believe what I saw, for there, playing the lead, was my old fellow worker at, of all places, First National City Bank, Park Avenue, N.Y. 5th floor. The year was 1963, the place the computer room, midnight to 8 am shift, Burroughs check sorting machine. His name – Sab Shimono. I remember him as a delicate, shy, self-effacing youngster, wrestling with the machine just as I was.
I met him after the curtain came down, and we swapped a few stories in the car-park. He has developed into a splendid actor, and reached an age of maturity reflected in his command of the stage.
I plan to see more of Sab.
Good News: Recovered From Eye Surgery.

I mentioned previously that I had a detached retina in my right eye which required that I not read or write during the healing period. Watching video was permitted, but moving my eyes across a printed page would interfere with the healing process. The surgery was on October 4, 2010, and I am happy to report that this week I am fully recovered, and my sight in that eye is 20/25 which is an excellent outcome.
It has been almost 8 weeks that I have not been reading or writing. My son helped my through email by reading it to me and typing as fast as I could dictate, and text to speech applications help enormously in getting through day. But I am very grateful that I can read and write again after this long hiatus and happy to get back to work. This experience has given me much more understanding of the problems faced by any one who has a sight deficit and has to work on a computer all day along.
I want to extend a thanks to every one who supported me during this period with their positive thoughts and actions. It made the time go faster.
