Monday Nerd Alert

My eyeglasses broke yesterday afternoon. The frame snapped at the joint where the left lens joins the bridge. After several abortive attempts to secure the lens, I succeeded in getting a thin strip of clear packing tape around the area. I can see & work more-or-less normally today, and by holding the broken ends together with the tape, the glasses sit normally on my face.

The bad news is I have a highly-visible strip of tape on my glasses. All I need now is a plastic pocket protector and a slide rule. Oh, wait - does anyone still use those? Okay, maybe a calculator.

I'll be seeing the optometrist to talk about contacts, this afternoon tomorrow afternoon. (sighs)

In other news, our friendly weather gnome is predicting snowfall for tonight and tomorrow. The good news that the temps remain warm, and anything that comes will melt fairly quickly.

There's nothing else going on, this morning. Stay tuned.

But nerdiness is the in thing right now. You could be on an episode of Chuck! It would be awesome to meet Adam Baldwin, so don't knock it. ;-)
