Bachelor Party for Chris

A fun time was had by all.

Season Premiere of Bones.

Bones. I finally saw the season opener. I liked the episode, however, I did not like how they 'glossed-over' the coma-dream that Booth had. I had assumed that, after watching the cliff-hanger last season, than Booth had total amnesia, not just confused about who Bones was - his wife or co-worker/partner, but who he was. The part where he said "I love you, in a .... way", was kind of a cop-out, in my opinion. How long can they drag-out this love sub-plot between the two main characters?

Band Playing at SD Festival of Beers

I went to the 1st one 15 years ago with Mark G. and several in-between. Good to get there early because the lines are much shorter. 10 4 oz. samples were enough.

Prescription vs. store-bought reading glasses.

About a year ago I went to the optometrist for my annual eye exam, and admitted to myself for the first time that I needed reading glasses. Now I had been told by many friends not to get prescription glasses because they were too expensive and the glasses you buy at a generic store work just as well. I ended up getting my glasses from the optometrist because he convinced me that off-the-shelf glasses would not work because they would be too strong. Yes, the glasses/frames/exam/anti-reflective coating were expensive, but the glasses worked great.

Last week I was in Costco and they have this set-up where you look through four different lenses to see which reading glasses work the best. The "125", whatever that number means, was the weakest, but I could tell that I could read the letters better. So I bought a three-pack of that type. When I got home the first thing I did was test them out while working on the computer. Immediately I noticed that the glasses did not make the text on the computer screen easier to read, but actually more blurry than my prescription glasses. The Costco glasses seem to only work for actual reading, where the book is about 12 inches from my face. The computer screen is about two feet away, and the glasses I've been using work great for both computer use and reading books.

So if anyone needs "125" glasses, I have three pair - with cases! - you can have, except I might keep one just for the fun of it.

SDSU at UCLA 2009

We had a crew of 11 go to the Rose Bowl to see SDSU play UCLA. The game was almost postponed due to the fires and smoke, but by Saturday the smoke had cleared and other that being hot it was a nice day.

Three Day Weekend

This year my off-Friday was not this Friday, so I only get a three day weekend. Works for me. Just got back from short four-day trip to Key West for work and now I'm getting ready for the UCLA at SDSU game up at the Rose Bowl. They decided yesterday not to postpone the game because the air quality from the fires was not all that bad. I don't know. When I flew over the area yesterday landing at LAX, all I saw was smoke. It was so think I could not see the ground. Either way, I'll have fun with my friend's BBQing, drinking beer and playing the every popular cornhole!
