I think the best thing I will post this week is the picture of my
sailor boy-o. The best part of the picture is he looks good and
action-packed and like a real sailor.

Apparently, cameras can lie.

Also in the line of vision, my new glasses. A while back, I had
bifocals (well progressive lens), but they were scratched and the
frames were stretched and I lost my love for them.

I replaced them with much cheaper single vision glasses. =20

Thanks to fabulous new benefits, which include vision care and
computer vision care for anyone using a computer (which is all but the
chick who restocks the plentiful snacks), I’m back with the old lady
bifocal dealios. But, I can see. I can SEE!

This may very well be the most boring post on this website to date.

The only thing of interest, really, is not my news but a friend’s.=20
Has me thinking about feminism, a little old thing called choice
(which isn’t just about abortion but about choosing a baby), my own
mortality and biological clock (I don’t feel any biological imperative
to breed), my mother’s life as a single parent, the probably not
entirely coincidental fact that both me and the fabulous M. grew up in
single mother households and just a whole lot of things.

Most of all, in my less selfish and introspective modes, it makes me
think how much I wish happiness, peace and all sorts of candy cane,
puppy dog, lollipop, rainbow good shit on those closest to me.

(The only downside being my wish for M.’s happiness would have to
include his dream of mega-Americana. You know the house in the
suburbs I grew up resenting. Ah well.)

Also, if anyone in Boston is looking for a bound to be interesting,
wild time tonight, head on down to the Improv Boston Theater in Inman
Square. The irrepressible, cute as a button, funny Andy Ofiesh is
taking his "Naked Comedy Show" public. Headlining the full frontal
will be Reverend Tim McIntire (can’t link, but check out
www.reverendtim.com). Also featuring Randy Winn (funny and a cancer
survivor) and Happy the Sad Clown (amazing and surreal in costume,
naked is just something else and beyond). Possibly also featuring
Chris Walsh of the fabulous Walsh Brothers, who I love comedy-wise and
otherwise (www.walshbrothers.org).

I had to leae Boston, because I saw too many comic naughty bits.
