The Super Evey/Daddy Tag-Team


I haven't been able to hear out of my right ear very well since I flew back from Boston. The doctor has me on a slew of meds (again) and if my hearing doesn't improve in two to three weeks (two to three weeks!) I have to go see a specialist.

If I ask you to repeat yourself multiple times, I'm sorry. I can't hear shit, especially when I'm eating (all I hear are the sounds inside my head).

This is how you change the time on my clock in my car:

"Press the Mode button (M) and the display will flash mode. Then hold the select button (SEL) until it changes to display something else. Hit left and right seek until you find clock M and clock H. Hit select again and use the volume button to change the time."
Man, that is not easily accomplished.

Evey is getting good at Shinobi, my 1980s arcade game. She can shoot the first couple bad guys no problem, and she even knows to duck when the first gunman comes out.

It's my goal that she'll one day rival her father at Shinobi. We'll play two players, and it'll be like two super-hero virtuosos going at it. Like Batman and Robin. Or Flash and, uh, Catwoman.

Well, if she can kill the first few guys without dying, she's better than me at that game. I remember the days when that was part of the Olympics...she'll probably bring that back to the competition in 2028!

Can't hear out of your right ear? Welcome to my world, man. I haven't been able to hear anything in my right ear except a high pitch ringing for over 14 years now. I think it's slowly driven me crazy.
