had the following conversation with great aunt rose tonight. word. for. word.

rose: do you have good lighting? make sure your lighting comes from the left. if you are right handed the light should come from the left. if it were on the right it would leave a shadow. if you were left handed you would do the reverse. in fact were were taught that. i didn’t make it up.

me: i don’t think that’s right

rose: you can take my word for it or you can ask the doctor. that will settle that once and for all. it will be less strain on your eye. you probably don’t know it but that’s the way it should be.
