The other day, I was helping my husband pick out new eyeglasses. The ones he had were old, and he'd sat on them so many times that they sat crooked on his face. While we looked through the panoply of options, I felt an old surge of teenage envy. Yes, I was one of those losers who wished I could be cool like the kids who had braces and glasses. And while I have since gotten over my lust for a mouth full of metal, I do still yearn for the excuse to buy many pairs of cool specs. Now, I have plenty of friends who suffer through the daily injustices of contacts and bifocals; you'd think I'd know better. But maybe one of these days, my vision will start to slide....not enough to really affect my day to day activities, but just enough to buy a pair of these babies.....
