Im seeing an optometrist next week, the one who discovered the cataracs.In my brief conversation with the optometrist the other day, I said that's the way I'd probably go. Which, in fact, is what most people do. You can get pretty fancy with customizing the lenses they put in, such as going with monovision (one eye distance, the other reading) which is how I've worn contacts for the past 15 years or more (and it totally works for me), but the costs are enormous in comparison with what Medicare etc. will pay for. And I'm willing to just keep cheap cheaters around in return for having great distance vision again.Cheap Cheaters is the title of my upcoming soap opera about workers in the eye care industry.

Dear Readers, I posted that Chewy commercial; with the adorable cat. It's one of hte few TV commercials I like at the moment. I think the ones I detest the most are those for Liberty Mutual which try to be funny but to me areonly relentlesslymoronic and insipid. Are there any current commercials you find particularly repellent?
Today is National Cat Day.
But it's not for lack of trying.
....the character of grandpa made the first of his appearances – we never see him, just hear him from the other room.
Well, you've read the notes, the notes had meat AND veggies, and now it is time for you to post until the vegetarian cows come home.
DR JohnG, I wish Frank Capra had toned Cary Grant down a bit for at least the first half of Arsenic and Old Lace. He's working way too hard. I really do like the rest of the cast enormously. While I wish Boris Karloff had recreated Jonathan Brewater, Raymond Massey, another actor I love, is really frightening. He and Peter Lorre play well off each other. The three Broadway stars of the play, Josephine Hull, Jean Adair, and John Alexander, are relegated to second-class in the billing, but they're so wonderful in their insane gentility. Some of the Epstein brothers' screenplay seems a bit condescending and arch, but some additions, like Edward Everett Horton's director of the Happy Dasle sanatorium, are very funny. The movie, unlike the play, makes an effort to remove the premise a bit from reality, while the play just accepts an eccentric family, like the one in You Can't Take It With You, as demented serial killers everyone in the neighborhood accepts a sweet but eccentric. Thus, it's set on Halloween night - great opening credits with jack-o-lanterens and cats - and Capra really gets much out of the scarier moments. The blasck and white transfer is really beautiful. The real problem is Cary Grant, an actor who rarely does wrong.
Boo!
