女兒的奇特禮物

“如果你得到她的擁抱你就永遠不會老”

紅棉吉他，現在不彈了：

類似喂奶椅的皮沙發：

女兒看到後，有一天從加州來了這麽個小包裹：

不知道大家聽說過 23AndMe 嗎？上次我們分頭前往紐約團聚，女兒給我們倆各買了一套用唾液提交基因查詢的服務（不打折時單價約 200 美金）。

幾周後，我的23andMe報告通過郵件發過來了。非常有意思（“挺準的”）。基因變化中包含了有兩個風險：一個是隨年齡增長視網膜中間有可能損傷影響視力；另一個是麵筋對小腸的影響。

另一個好玩的地方是，我的肌肉構成在精英運動員中很普遍。嗨，我怎麽沒去幹體育呢？

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of irreversible vision loss among older adults. The disease results in damage to the central part of the retina (the macula), impairing vision needed for reading, driving, or even recognizing faces. This test includes the two most common variants associated with an increased risk of developing the condition.

Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition in which the consumption of gluten (found in wheat, barley, and rye) can result in damage to the small intestine. Celiac disease can lead to both digestive and non-digestive problems. This test includes two common variants associated with an increased risk of developing this condition.
