こんばんは。

Koa and the other members of his high school’s percussion ensemble competed today, and they celebrated afterwards with a little movie party at our house. I didn’t know how many kids would be over, but it turned out to be a total of 10. I’m still marveling at how they all could gather around the TV, seemingly comfortably. Oh to be young again!

I hope you had a great day!

I’m getting in the habit of taking my Fujifilm X100T out of my bag when I get in the car so I can take photos of the things I see on the road. I used to keep our Sony NEX-6 in the glove compartment, but Bay is using it at college. So… a little more effort to remember to take the X100T out of the bag, but definitely worth it!

New Glasses 👓

I recently updated my prescription at the eye doctor and went ahead and ordered a new pair of progressive prescription glasses. I decided to change it up and go with a round metal frame this time instead of the black plastic frames I’ve chosen for the past few years. Actually my first pair of prescription glasses that I bought 22 years ago in Japan (wow, time flies!) were similar to the new ones.

This time around I splurged on the higher-quality lenses to get close to the yearly allowance my insurance covers for frames and lenses. I’ve ordered from Eyebuydirect for a few years now and have been very satisfied with the quality and price. Plus they are a local company, so there’s that.

I’m still getting used to the new progressive lenses, but based on experience, it will only take a day or two for me to adapt to the new glasses. Yay! 👓
