A blog discussing what's going on in my life and in my mind.
Previously, I offered thoughts on personal, local, national, and world issues -- politics, travel, books, sports, and more. Photos too.
But these days, it's mostly just music.

Do Glasses Make The Man?

The aging process seems imperceptible, but the 23-year-old prediction that my eyesight would improve slightly several years before I'd need bifocals has begun to come true. The recommendation at Friday's appointment was that I should try to avoid using my glasses when I'm reading, in the hope that I can strengthen my eyes so that I won't need bifocals. The optometrist said that my astigmatism may make it too difficult, but that it was worth the try. I type this paragraph without my glasses, and I can just make out the words. For the proofreading, I put the glasses back on.
