| I can relate. I have a decade on you, Brian. Here's what I do: Hold down the Control keyboard button, and zoom in using the scroll wheel up and down direction. The screen magnifies in the direction of the cursor, and any mouse movement towards the edges of the zoomed area scrolls the screen in that direction. I believe this is a default in OSX, but I'm not sure when it was implemented. In earlier versions it required enabling in the System Settings > Universal Access panel.
