New Specs

I got new glasses. Got ’em on right now. Had to surrender my old ones, at least for a few days ’cause I’m gettin’ new lenses in them, also. So I, for the first time in my life, will have a spare pair, each with my current prescription. Thus, for now, I have on the new Nautica ... hmm, I have no idea what style they are, and, truthfully, I had no idea they were Nautica frames, even, until I went to pay for them.

Not saying anything for or against the brand. I once bought a Nautica shirt, actually, despite the fact that it cost $89 (which I did not have). It was simply one of those items I had to have. A must-have, if you will. I tend to like their T-shirts, also, now that I like sailing. Or at least, now that I have actually been sailing.

Here is a partial depiction of me in my new glasses. This is the first pair of plastic-framed glasses that I have had since ... well, in a long long time. I switched to wire rims several years ago, and there was no looking back for me, baby. None at all! However, this time, when I was picking out frames, I wanted something ... bolder. Something ... unlike my other frames. Something ... dare I say, somewhat dorky? I mean, after all, I AM a dork; what’s wrong with looking like one??!

: )

I have worn glasses since 4th grade. Only for reading, then, until 7th, when I had to start wearing them all the time. Switched to contacts my senior year of h.s. and wore them all through college and into My Adult Years. Switched back to glasses when I realized I just didn’t want to fuck with contacts any longer. Got contacts again in early 2002 but never gave up glasses. (Too convenient.)

More later, maybe. Just had to run out and take a picture of a Mustang whose driver had tried to take on a utility pole. (No contest, really.) Plus Barefoot Contessa is on and I cannot tear myself away, and besides, it is almost dinnertime, in spite of what the post time might say.
