An Urgent Appeal

I appeal to my vast readership for help charity straight-up cash in meeting a sudden pressing need for ludicrously appropriately expensive eyewear like these Brikos or these Rudy Projects. See, riding to and from work today, my prescription spectacles fogged up rather abruptly and blindingly several times, and when they weren't opaque with condensation, my eyes were watering so badly I couldn't see well anyhow.

What's that? I should take the car? Why would I do that when I could just get more gear? I mean, really. The economy isn't keeping itself going on its own. Besides, Shannon might need the car. Those kids don't entertain themselves (much), you know.

Anyhow, if you'll stop interrupting, you'll see (ha!) that having some high-end goggles like the ones worn by Olympic-champion nordic ski racers is crucial to my ability to ride back and forth to work safely, quickly, and stylishly. (Please don't mention my green windbreaker: it's for visibility!) If just a few dozen people used Paypal to send me $10, $20, or $200 - really, whatever you can spare toward this worthy cause - I'd be rocking the shades in no time. I accept donations (which are only tax-deductible if you're trying to pull a fast one on the IRS) at christopher at tassava dot com.

Please - do it for the kids.
