My kids and dog

Dr. Laughlin, Judy, Natalie, and Olivia at Latrobe's Rabbit Run

Rhonda just had her 1st anniversary of running 5K's on Thanksgiving. I am trying to convince her to run in the Pittsburgh Marathon this spring. I think she wants to get a relay team together.

Robert Cray Band is coming to the Palace Theatre

Here is a video I took when we recently saw them in Nashville. He was really good. Of course, no fried pickles at the Palace. It is nice that Greensburg is offering a venue with good shows. Get tickets if they are still available. Monday, August 18.

Rhonda, the kids and me saw Wierd Al Yankovic at the Palace Theatre

Rhonda had a great time and so did the kids. I found this video of the show on YouTube. I am going to have to start taking my camera with me to shows.

Latest 5K: Mt Carmel 5k in Crabtree

Rhonda and I had great fun at the Crabtree race. We ate good food at the church festival. Got really cool shirts. Won Carbones Italian dressing and Rizzo's sauce. I placed and won a cool little trophy.

John Woodruff 5K in Connellsville

Rhonda ran well in this HILLY(!!!!) race. I was awful. 2 minutes slower than Friday. She improved on her last time.

our new puppy, Samantha

Our latest 5k

We ran on July 4. It was a great day for a run. I ran back to finish with Rhonda. For the record, I am wearing progressive addition high index transition lenses in a Lucky Brand frame. I love my progressives. I can do anything in them. I don't even realize that I am wearing bifocals!Times:
Perry: 23:48
Rhonda: 28:42

My progressive lenses

Progressives actually do take a little time to get use to. Now, they work fine. They only took a couple of days to get use to.

Exam room painting

We painted the exam room Saturday night. I hate painting. Worse yet, it needs another coat. Like a fool, I made a deal with Dr. Laughlin and now I have to put the second coat on!

New at Dr. Laughlin's Eye Center in Greensburg

In our effort to serve the eye care needs in Greensburg, we have added incredible new technology to our office. With our new retinal thickness analyzer (RTA 5), we are able to diagnose glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, retinal tears and holes, macular swelling and many other diseases earlier than before. Even more important, the Vision Wellness Report allows us to measure baseline norms which we can compare to future visits. This new technology helps me to provide even better care for our patients. Schedule your appointment soon to get your Vision Wellness report. Call 724-832-1055. My staff will be happy to assist you!

Dr. Christopher gets bifocals--ugh!

I think the frames are pretty cool. Retro cool, but Dr. Laughlin doesn't quite agree yet. It is from a new line of frames. Lucky Brand Spectacles. I think they are very cool.

I am having the frames fit with the latest Varilux progressive lens desing in brown transitions. I will let you know how I like them.

Dr. Laughlin at her first 5K run

Of course, she doesn't know I am posting this. This is at the Latrobe Turkey Trot. We haven't posted on this blog lately because like all things, I forgot the password.

Soon, we will update the main website if I can remember the password. Unfortunately, the computer I use for that website is inacessible. It is in a roll top desk. My daughter locked the desk and promptly lost the keys. The kind folks at Roomfull Express are sending me another set of keys.

Look for the updated website soon!
