Speaking of brothers, one of my other brothers called to tell me that he’s had Lasik surgery done on his eyes. He says it was quick and easy and the best thing he’s ever done for himself.

I wish I felt comfortable abut doing it - I’ve worn glasses or contacts ever since I was a kid in grade school and couldn’t see the blackboard even from the front row.

I remember my dad telling me that when you get older your eyesight reverses. He was referring to the way your eyes get worse for close up work and eventually needing bifocals. I have to admit I fought the idea of bifocals for a very long time, but eventually the headaches from not being able to read the newspaper or see the computer screen won out over vanity.
