I decided it's time to complete my geek look. I went to the eye doctor today, and they told me I need glasses for looking at things up close (such as computer screens). I went to LensCrafters, so I could have the glasses for tomorrow. But when I was finished, they told me I won't be able to get them for 1-2 weeks.

They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to.

Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...

I did find out that I have a very basic vision insurance included with both my health & dental insurances. It's a maximum of 30% off, but it can't be combined with promotions (such as 50% off lenses), which doesn't make sense to me. I'll go down and have them figure out which way is cheapest for me.
