    She stared deeply into my eyes and said “Wow, your retinas sure are different.” She didn’t say if that was good or bad and I was afraid to ask.

    My ophthalmologist is a good-looking woman. She saved the eyesight in one eye by finding a retina tear I didn’t know I had. She sent me across the street to a specialist immediately for laser surgery. She didn’t even allow me to return to work.

    First time I went to an Optometrist the first question was “are you 42?”, then she explained that was the age when eyesight started to deteriorate. Working conditions, poor light etc apparently has little to do with it.

    I know just how he feels. I once sat in that chair, and when she said, “Relax and just look at my nose”, I had to bite my tongue not to reply, “Yes ma’am, I could do that forever.”

    Well, I suppose the surest, if not best way, to get a date is to make an appointment. If you have to make an appointment with them at least you know they have a job.

    “Okay, place your chin on the rest.” It was then the aroma of last night’s beer and the “eye opener” hit her as her eyes teared up. Eno thought this was a clear sign of a romance to come.

    Eno is like Calvin writing a ‘revisionist autobiography’.
