A sage observation and all too true as we age

Whatever you do don't set your glasses down or you will be wondering from room to room trying to find the coffee pot to refill the cup.

and when you enter the bathroom, in the mirror, you'l see
your glasses propped up on your forehead.

I had a friend tell me the older you get door frames become mind erasers when you walk through them.

The other day I picked up my phone laying beside me. By the time I turned it over, I had forgotten what I wanted it for.

Not me. The oil in my hair tracks up the lenses. Get up, shower, clean glasses, put on face, they are there till I go to bed.

I think I forgot my glasses once since I got them 65 years ago the years when I wore contact lenses at least part of the time don't count. I even used to wear them into the shower and clean them with shampoo. And I wear them to swim. I made it to 5th grade before I got them. I was born very near sighted in the right eye and just did everything with one eye and thought that was normal. The school nurses had all been right handed and put the little paddle in my right hand - Cover your eye - read the chart - Cover the other eye - read the chart. I couldn't see the chart but it was a "TEST" so I just recited the chart back from memory.
The nurse in 5th grade was left handed and put the paddle in my left hand - Cover your eye, no the left one!- read the chart - "What Chart Lady? It is just a blur." A week later I had glasses and could see the world with two eyes - WOW, things looked different! But the damage was done, the strain made my left eye go nearsighted, only about 1/2 as bad as the right but...

Fifth grade you say? Me too. I sat near the back of the room. When I was working between the blackboard and my desk, I look at the board, have to wait till things cleared up to read it, look at my paper on my desk, wait till things cleared up to read it. I think the teacher noticed and told my parents. Do you remember the first time walking outside with your glasses? I didn't know where the sidewalk was.

On my report cards for 1-5 the only bad? things noted by each teacher was "Asks too many questions. Gets out of desk to walk up and look at the board." (I couldn't read what was on the board so I either asked or walked up to look.)

The main thing I noticed quickly was I could catch baseballs with something besides my face and I could now hit. Binocular vision is much faster at judging distance than mentally comparing the size of an incoming baseball. One thing took a very long time to change, I am right handed but cocked my head over to see the sights and aim with my good eye, I still do it a lot. My Army drill sergeants stopped getting after me about it when I scored Expert. They also stopped getting after me for flipping my rifle over and firing left handed on some parts of the course. The parts where some barricades are easier for a right handed shooter and others easier for a left handed shooter - switched right to left and back. Likewise they stopped getting after me for shooting a .45 either right or left handed interchangeably. Once on a bet I tried two pistols at once and did just fine firing right and left alternately. I am just a bit slower left handed. Well, now that I am 75 I might be able to out draw a glacier if the glacier is having a slow day.
