I think this is the weekend to shop for new glasses. It puts me in an awkward situation. I have four pair of glasses right now, and I really like them all. A situation that almost guarantees failure today.
The four pair of glasses have different shapes, are different sizes, colors, materials, and I like them all. Shopping for glasses is a terrible burden. I am fussy about glasses. Shapes, colors, size, all have to be right. I have bought glasses before that I didn't really like and it was like a curse putting them on every morning. They just didn't look right.
Size is important, because I wear bifocals, I get the lineless variety so nobody knows, and since I am going on and on about shapes and appearance there is no point in pretending vanity is not an issue.
It reminds me of a time when my oldest son was playing youth soccer, and I was standing with the other dads, trying to fit in. And one of them said. "My dad just got bifocals, he is really having trouble adjusting to them." Rookie, I thought. But, I kind of moved away, we didn't really have that much in common.
But, I will go and look, and maybe even get some new glasses. If I can find the right pair. My wife always thinks I should get two pair, she says I am hard on my glasses. It doubles my problems.
Getting glasses is cool, shopping for glasses is difficult. Adapt and overcome, that's what I say. Not really, whine and worry, that is much closer. But, if I find some I will post my picture here if not I will post a picture of something else. Any suggestions?
Either way, expect a long, detailed account tomorrow. Sorry, it is just who I am.

New Glasses, maybe.

Vanity, It Looks Good On You.
As many of you know, I am not a very good driver. Normally I have a lot of things running through my mind. Many important things, that are consuming a lot computational cycles. Plus, there is always the terrible decision of which song to listen to next, and a little light hearted banter with Siri. Also, there are infinite distractions. All over the route to and from work, there are diversions, and eye catching side shows, and fantastic scenes begging to be noticed.
Lately there have been an unusual number of vanity plates. Each one deserves a little attention. That is the whole purpose behind having a little something extra put on your license plate, it is asking to be noticed.
Of course it is difficult to take a decent picture while driving 65 miles an hour, and dodging all of the crazy people out there. Honestly, the roads are filled with crazy people, weaving in and out of traffic, talking on the phone, and being a potential hazard. It is amazing that I have lived this long. Anyway, I saw this vanity plate, and it reminded me of the big showdown this weekend with +Mike Raven. Over at the Tea drinkers r' us.And, I thought it was kind of a sign, maybe drinking tea was ok.
But then this happened, and I changed my mind. I think I will stick to coffee. Care for a spot of tea, anyone?
