They both look so laid back, just like a couple of old pals. I especially like that Stewart is holding his glasses while reading his old diary. Anybody as myopic and old as I am knows what I'm talking about. You reach a point where you have to take off the glasses to to see what you're reading and then slap 'em back on to see whom you're reading to. It's somehow nice to know that like me, Stewart seems to be kicking and screaming on his long drag towards bi-focals. Once again, my heart is warmed to see Stewart being the embodiment of kick-ass geekiness.[/quote]
That was my feeling exactly, LL. I feel a real kinship with Stewart when I look at that photo![/quote]
Guilty of same.
I immediately noticed the glasses in his hand, too. My first reaction was "Heh, heh the eyes are starting to feel the years, eh?" Then it turned to, "Hey! waiiiiit a minute. That's not so funny."
I favor the peering over the top of the frames method to see the fine print. D'oh! (I'm dreading my next visit to the eye doctor - much to Sambucasuburu's amusement)[/quote]
I was at the eye doctor today. His secretary, who is also his wife, was talking to me while I waited. She made it sound like bifocals were a fait accompli for me. "It's time, dear," she said as if we were talking about putting down a family pet.
The eye doctor was a lot better about it. "If you don't mind switching glasses when you read there's no need for bifocals. Just get two prescriptions filled" I can live with that compromise. Unlike his wife, the good ol' doc was happy to help me extend my stay in the land of denial .
In Dallas, the only game that really mattered was in the word gamelan.
