Look Closely...

Poor planning of my next 1-800 Contacts order has left me bereft of contact lenses right now, so for the past couple days I've been wearing my glasses all the time.

This thrills Julia, who looks forward to the moments each day when Mama and Daddy put their "gwasses" on. In a "it's always junior high" kind of way, it's also caused considerable interest at work. At least a half-dozen people with whom I work regularly have commented (several, a number of times) on my "new" glasses. Though these coworkers are mostly complimentary (Shannon did an excellent job picking out good frames last time I had to get new specs), they also seem surprised when I tell them that I usually wear contacts, have been wearing glasses since the fourth grade, et cetera.

Part of me wants to go into a good fake rant about "What, can't a guy be half-blind and deaf? You frigging able-bodied people sicken me," but then I decide against it.
