Opus 2014-20: Flosser Thoughts: Shaving Glasses

I knew I needed a shave but I didn’t know how bad it was.

Have you ever seen the stereotype of an old man, shuffling down the street, hair sticking out everywhere:  Head, ears and nose.  If he shaved it seem that he missed a lot of spots.  I had an insight into that this morning in front of the mirror.  He probably can’t see well enough to know what he looks like.

I have a pair of old reading glasses.  I have been using them for the computer but they are beginning to lose the range.  I asked myself where they might be more useful and came up with the bathroom mirror.  It is a little further away than the computer screen and I noticed the other day that I was leaning way forward and using the reading part of my bifocals to shave.  It was getting awkward.  I tried the old glasses and everything came into focus.

Reuse, Reduce, Recycle.

I saw hairs and wrinkles that I had lost contact with.  Instead of needing a shave I could suddenly see that I NEEDED a shave. 

If you are in that demographic, give it a try.  Usually there is no one around to laugh at you.  If you could see better they might not laugh at you so much on the street.  If you can still see, file it away or pass it on.
