Call Me Four-Eyes

When I arrived home from work today (about an hour ago), my father told me to come and see a replay of the end of last night's Red Sox game.

I took him up on his offer, especially since I knew the Red Sox had beaten the Yankees in dramatic fashion in the bottom of the 9th.

The TV looked a little blurry to me, so I adjusted my glasses.... And, uh-oh....  I still had my computer glasses on.

I usually switch my glasses when I leave work.  I put my computer glasses in a case and then in my purse. And I put my regular, everyday glasses — the pair I use for driving — on my face.

I didn't make the switch today.

Fortunately my everyday glasses were in my purse, so I was able to put them on and see the baseball replay.

But it's funny that I didn't notice anything amiss while I was operating a motor vehicle. I'm not sure if that's a reflection of my priorities (baseball over driving???) or if my drive home is so routine that seeing correctly is merely an option.

Anyway, I got home safely and the Red Sox won last night. And that's what matters.
