They say when you get older you can take the little setbacks in stride better than you could as a youngun. Not so. At least in my case. I lost my glasses today. This is a regular occurrence. This time, to top it off I can't figure how it happened. I've gone over my day step by step and there's no way I could've lost my glasses. But I did. And it kills me.
I recently had to start wearing reading glasses. Not perscription ones, just the kind you get at the drugstore for twenty bucks. So last year when we went to the trade show I ordered a dozen pairs from the sunglass company that sold "readers." Now I have one on every desk and in every coat and briefcase I have so I never am without a pair. It's the only way to fly.
ricpic: Have you made the acquaintance of St. Anthony of Padua? He's the patron saint of lost and misplaced items. When you're looking for something, say "Tony, Tony, turn around. Something's lost that must be found." And, when you find it, you have to say aloud, "Thank you St. Anthony!" And laugh. He's a funny saint.
I hate Sarah Jessica Parker, Robin Williams, Tim Robbins, Susan Saradon, the BJ Hunnicut guy, brussel sprouts, the Boston Red Sox, commies and well, lawyers.

Tell me I can't be the first person to notice that you can't spell Titus without Tits! I depress myself.
Hey, we're coming up on the second anniversary of Yvonne De Carlo's death.
She died in Woodland Hills, which is where I grew up, and where most of the B-list goes to die.
Curiously enough, IMDB lets you browse a location for place-of-birth, but hides the place-of-death link. It exists though:
People who have died in Woodland Hills.
Thousands. We're like the graveyard of broken dreams. Or of broken bodies after the broken dreams....

Sorry Yvonne, I had to vent.
Aww...ricpic. Hope you find them.
That's very interesting, blake.
Oh, blake. Just read your comment on the Travolta thread @ Althouse.
Bless you.

She's obviously channeling Bettie Page.
Thanks, Darcy.
I notice that, for some people, any occasion is an excuse to ride their hobby horses.
So I, uh, ride my hobby horse of setting them straight.

And you do it with great aplomb, Blake.
I hope your crack over at Althouse ("Good Lord, Titus, I think I'd prefer a long dissertation on loaf-pinching.?) permanently caps that thread.
Too funny.
