Cubs have been picking up some good players for the past few days...so that's all good.

Made a trek (no pun intended) to For Eyes (pun intended) because my glasses kind of fell apart spontaneously last week. The right lens just kind of popped out. I was going to pop it back in until I saw that it popped out because the frames had broken on that side. Oh well. I *think* those are only the second pair of glasses I've ever had since the infamous 'Atlanta' incident.

In case you don't know the story, I'll tell you now. There was a while where money was tight in our family, so when my glasses frames broke one day I just bought a cheap-o pair of wireframe sunglasses and swapped the lenses with my glasses lenses. This worked for a while...until one day while I was working at Ace a lens popped out and cracked in two on the ground. I was able to fit both pieces together back into the frames and I was fine. A few days later I left for Atlanta for Thanksgiving with Uncle Bruce, Aunt Angie, and Beth.

Early in the trip the 2 pieces broke into 3. At Stone Mountain the broken lens popped out and cracked into like 5-6 pieces. I was done with them. We got a good laugh out of my cobbled together glasses and I think there's video of it somewhere.

So, these latest to break are either the ones I got when I returned from Atlanta (unlikely, since that would mean they're almost 10 years old now) or the ones I got to replace that pair (more likely). At any rate, they're at least 5 years old. I got a different frame style than I've ever had before. Should be interesting. I kept telling the woman that I only use my glasses to read and she thought I meant I only needed vision help to read and she corrected me...I finally explained that when I'm going to read before bed, I put my glasses on.

I don't really read (for pleasure at night) with my contacts in. Having glasses on to do that is just a little more comfortable for some reason. Boy, this is sure interesting, isn't it? :)
