Unlike most people when they age, I have become progressively more
nearsighted. I could see things close up just fine; but suddenly my
astronaut-level eyesight is no longer what it was. Now people start looking
blurry from a distance of about thirty feet. But you know what? I find you all
look much better!
From a distance, wrinkles are wiped away, smiles are
friendlier, and warts are practically invisible. Who needs beer goggles when
all it takes is forgetting my glasses? Many an attractive woman has swum
through my ken, only to ruin the whole thing by getting too close. Hey, lady, I liked you a lot more back there.
I'm sure she had a fantastic personality. Look at the lute! Musical!
Anyway, now I find my reading vision is starting to go, and
eventually I guess you'll all be blurry from any distance if I forget my
glasses. Which I probably will do more often. When I'm shaving I don't wear
them, after all, and I'm sure it will do my self-esteem wonders when that
visage is obscured.
