before 30? Hah! I've had mine since I was 9. Tried contacts for a few years on mom's insistence, didn't take. Agreed I look better, but I felt awful. For 10 years. Graduated from college, gave up on the contacts once mom had no control over my choice of vision aids. BTW the museum trip is for grownups, not kids. I have to look/sound semi professional. It would be nice to seem like I actually understand what I'm reading--"look! It says here that this speciman came from a remote island.." etc. It's actually an exhibit about Darwin that's traveling all over the world in honor of Darwin's birthday or anniversary of the beagle trip or something like that. Can't remember the details. Forgot about DST! Now I have to leave in 15 min instead of an hour and 15 min!

Both my parents were bespectacled before the age of 30, and somehow I have the eyes of a hawk.

Oh shit, DST, I guess that would be today. If you come back with 28 of the 30 kids, you still get something like a 92 which is a B+ as I recall from high school, which reminds me that I wikipediad (or however that is verbified these days...whatever!) my high school, and who graduated like a year after my but Jeff Bezos, the Amazon.com guy. My guess is he doesn't make it to the reunions. > > It would be fun if everyone wikied their high school. Somebody out there had to have gone to school with Eric Carmen. Show thyself. We also had the 1967 Ms. Universe, who I would still probably date, if I didn't have such good eyes and an aversion to necrophilia. > > I am never happy when I camp.

I guess that's harsh. Dave Barry, if you are here, don't tell the Czar I said that. But I can only imagine how his wiki site will be cannibalized now. It must be getting 4, 5 hits a day now. > > Ellen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anyone else completely glasses-dependent like me?
