I went and got new glasses today.  The old ones had gotten really scratched up and the left eye just wasn’t very sharp.  After two years, I figure it’s time to go get some new ones.
I normally go to Dr. Crook, who has known my family since I was a wee one in Nebraska.  He [...]

I’ve been reading a fair bit about this book hyped by Oprah Winfrey called “The Secret”, I had never heard of it until Dave said something about it in and IM of ours. He, in fact, has a post up about it right now. I agree with much of what he says.
