I know, I know. I never said it was a
practical idea.
:-) The practical benefits to my life would probably be
greatest if I were to get LASIK now. On the other hand,
I'm one of those people who, in junior high, would sit
around rolling dice for several days to "honestly" get the
perfect D&D character. I'm a sucker for quixotic
undertakings.
Anyway, I've been wearing glasses for 20 years or so, and
they don't actually bother me, so it's not hard to hold
out. I save money, and get the pleasure of thinking I may
be able to amaze people with my wonder-vision one day.
I'd love to have a few of Chuck Yeager's eyesight genes
spliced into my children too, but that I'm not waiting for.
They'll just have to be responsible for having my grandkids
properly engineered. :-)
