I was recently fitted for a new pair of transitional lenses, and trust me, these are more "transitional" than the first pair. I'm beginning to notice many things that most of us take for granted like reading labels in the grocery store, and I've also learned that the term "transitional" applies more to my age than my lenses. That last point is demonstrated by the following episode from the workplace.
Friday of last week I was testing some software on one of the test PCs that we have for our project team.

Hey man... you've got to look at the bright side of this. You've beat those young whipper-snappers. They're not messing with your monitor settings anymore. :-) But alas I can sympathize, I am about to upgrade my monitor from the 19 inch variety I have now to either a 21 or even a 24 inch. I tell Cindy its because its bigger and better (that's the Tim the Toolman Taylor coming out in me) when in actuality, I can't see the dang thing anymore. Ain't growing old a blast?? Love ya man. BTW, I now know what to buy you for your b-day, either longer arms or a large print Bible. :-)
