…no probably not. But an explanation for feeling so much pain sitting down at the computer? A bit. I really need glasses. Not full time glasses but on call at least. I’ve been thinking they would do me good for some time not (year+) but never wanted to include it in my budget. But you know what they say, time is money and the time I waste tired, with headache and itchy eyes could by me several pairs of specs. I went to the optometrist today and she agreed.

While waiting they sat me in a dimly lit room and I pulled out my book to read. Smiling, the receptionist turned on a light for me. Was that a test?

I’m reading “In Patagonia” because several recent events have ignited a small desire to travel Argentina and Chile.  The latest being receiving a postcard of the Perito Moreno Glacier from Sato Sensei, the head instructor at my home karate dojo, who recently came back from travels in South America. The book is interesting in that it portrays history, culture, and ways of living that I have no clue about. Still, I can’t say that it’s inspiring me to travel. Then I remember that I’m never inspired so much by words as I am by pictures. I will continue reading and at the same time do some research on Flickr.
