Finally today my new glasses were ready for me to pickup from the optometrist, so at lunch I went over and picked them up. It is good to have glasses that are sturdy again (my old ones were definitely getting a little beat up). I especially like the transition lenses, which automatically get darker when it is bright. Whoever invented that feature rules. Steve-o tells me that my new sunglasses should be here possibly by Friday, which would really be nice. I can't wait for some super-dark sunglasses
Basketball-wise there isn't much going on right now, cause the Lakers are off waiting to see who they'll play in the next round. Minnesota and Sacramento will play a Game 7 tomorrow to see who will advance to play the Lakers. Hopefully the Lakers are getting some good rest this week while they wait. There's not much going on at work right now either. Nothing really noteworthy anyway, just business as usual. Exciting stuff, huh?
Well since I have nothing interesting to say, here's a funny news item from Texas:
- ODESSA, Texas -- A student who drank a chemical from his high school lab on a dare was recovering in a hospital, but not before a scare.
The student drank the unidentified chemical on a two-dollar bet at the school, said Nancy Smith, a UMC supervisor.
"We need to find out what it was from the toxicologist," Assistant Principal Ray Lascano said. "All of those materials belonged to one of the chemistry labs."
The student was found last Wednesday in a school hallway, bleeding from the nose and mouth. link
