INABILITY TO READ!!!?!?!?!!11! Get on that shit now, girlfriend! My main resistance to buying new glasses this year was my profound dissatisfaction with last year's pair. Spent a fortune, hate them, barely wear them. Plus, it's still easier for me to pop my glasses off to read. Like my dad used to. Oy. Aging gracefully? Isn't that called "living?" Aren't there enough books about that already, by writers far better than I? ;-) Mary Ellen - Dizziness!?! INABILITY TO READ!!!?!?!?!!11!

Get on that shit now, girlfriend! My main resistance to buying new glasses this year was my profound dissatisfaction with last year’s pair. Spent a fortune, hate them, barely wear them. Plus, it’s still easier for me to pop my glasses off to read. Like my dad used to. Oy.

Aging gracefully? Isn’t that called “living?” Aren’t there enough books about that already, by writers far better than I? ;-)

Is this the snake-oil talking? No, it's my middle age talking (and it explains my dizziness and inability to read). C, please do me a favor and write that book that talks about doing this whole thing gracefully. Thanks for another outstanding year of sharing your humanity with the rest of us. Wishing you, Arnie (adorable!), and all your dear ones health, happiness and peace in 2008. #21 Until you hit that ripe age when you hear things from you optometrist (who looks old enough to have just stepped in from pep squad practice) like “Your prescription has changed dramatically in less than two years time.” Is this the snake-oil talking?

Here’s to ‘08!

That’s my favorite. In business and personally, saying “no”
usually puts money in my pocket, builds self-esteem, and
satisfies my need for deferred gratification.
