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. :-)
