Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Wow, what a crappy adventures, Cash. I hope you get a restful evening, anyway.

ION, I have discovered a new farmers' market that is 75 yards from my house. Of course, it consists of all of 2 booths, but still! Locally-grown organic produce around the corner every Saturday! I hope it is successful and gets more business.

I was planning to take a big stack of books to the library to donate, but there's an Oktoberfest and the roads are blocked. Hmmm.

Where there is Oktoberfest, there is beer!

My day got considerably better with the application of a pomegranite margarita.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm glad that you can keep your head in this, and maybe even try to look on the bright side of this.

Yeah, I don't know, but a night alone in a hotel doesn't sound so bad...not as good as girls' weekend, but better than stuck on the side of the road with two little kids!

ION, how long should I give myself to adjust to my new glasses before I think there's something wrong with them? The doctor said it was just one eye that changed just a little...

In related news, why didn't I look for new glasses at Costco??!??!?!

“Not dead yet!”

Give yourself about a week, Jesse-- I remember when I went to channel-set bifocals I had to give myself two weeks because i was so disoriented by the change.

Jesse, it always took a week or two to get used to new glasses.

Annoying! These aren't that different! But OK, I'll wait it out.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Because everyone I know that has gotten them there hadto go back at least once. and if they are anything more complicated than single lens .....

OK, that's slightly reassuring. I'm just annoyed at how much these cost.
