Fun with Reading Glasses

livingdebI decided to try Robin's reading glasses to see if they made it easier to read my atlas. The short answer is yes.
But in reality, I have a very long history of being near-sighted, correcting that vision with glasses, and thus developing a very strong habit of lifting my glasses to help me see fine print better. Obviously, this is not a good strategy with reading glasses. I felt like I was in some sort of (not very funny) slapstick comedy.
It just feels so wrong to look through glasses when trying to read! Ha! I'll learn.
Video of the Day - Saturday Night Live's Black Jeopardy - There are actually many different episodes of "Black Jeopardy," and I watched two more after seeing this one, which features the Black Panther from Wakanda, but this is by far my favorite.
It feels wrong laughing at racist society, so I'm not sharing this on Facebook. But I'm a sucker for the fish-out-of-water strategy of examining culture. Plus the acting is fun, especially Darnell's facial expressions, and I just love T'Challa.
Darnell (host) - "This is the reason your cable bill is in your grand mamma's name."
T'Challa (Black Panther) - "What is: To honor her, as the foundation of the family?"
Darnell - "Hmm. That's really nice. It's wrong." ...
Shanice - "What is: 'Cause I'm fid'na get a car, and I don't need all that on my credit?"
And now, because of this video, we joke about putting "raisins" in things at my house. You know you want to be in on the joke. Deb-Bob says, "Check it out!"
