Where are they now!?!

In the accompanying picture the reader of this blog will note that six pairs of glasses are in the frame (so to speak). I can pretty well guarantee that by the end of the day I will have lost five of them. The sixth will be on my head. Or maybe in the loo. Oh, yeah, I have another pair in the car. Lies!! I have two pairs in the car just in case I bring a pair back to the apartment with me and forget to take them back to the car next trip out.

Where do they go, these glasses. They have a life of their own. They just up and walk away, I’m sure. My glasses must have the same genetic background as my keys.

At times a pair will make an appearance under my rear end when I least expect it. I can tell they are there by the accompanying “crunch” when I sit.

I usually buy a half a dozen at a time from the dollar store. Several months ago I treated myself to a thirty dollar pair from Shopper’s Drug Mart. I left them in Halifax last month. My new prescription glasses are still with me. I’m afraid to use them lest I lose them or sit on them.

Zellers has a nice assortment of glasses. Get a good looking pair for fourteen bucks. They get lost as easy as a dollar store pair.

I’ve tried those strings or chains you attach to the glasses and sling around your neck. I had to buy one of those when I was in Belgium. Neither the glasses nor the chain thingie made it back to Canada. I don’t buy them any more.

It just occurred to me; I have seven glasses here with me now. I’m wearing the seventh pair. They will be lost by the time I finish this.
