Okay, folks. This is not the announcement I was talking about, that will come later. But it's something just as utterly earth-shattering. In an hour I'll be off to get new glasses. Please hold your applause. Yes, I am proud to count myself among the visually impaired. We're a proud bunch. And I'm not buying into the contact lens fad. I love my freaking glasses. Blanche DuBois wore spectacles for approximately a minute and a half in the movie version of Streetcar. That's reason enough for me.
My current pair is gonna be hard to part with. Because of them I've made it through some wonderful times without bumping into anything or mistaking anybody for someone else. My lovely specs helped me see:

I watched Obama get elected and inaugurated through these glasses. I went to Ocean City and Disney. I had two birthday parties. A good long life for a pair of spectacles, I'd say.
