My Way of Life

So I went for my annual year and a half eye exam. I originally went to check out the frames but the doctor was available so I had my eyes examined. Many of you who are used to seeing me on the stage aren’t aware that I wear glasses. Well I do. The exam took much longer then any I’ve ever had before and it was not fun. It was exhausting. Look here, look there, keep your eyes open, don’t flinch! How the hell do you not flinch when you’ve got this giant rod a millimeter from your cornea? When it was all said and done the doctor said I should seriously consider ‘progressives’, the modern term for BI-FOCALS. I smacked him across the face and stormed out the door.
