Gonna be an interesting two weeks

[mme_hardy]

 I went to my new eye doctor, and we hit it off like the San Andreas Fault.  He is such a big ol' nerd that he has his gaming table (with some card set I didn't recognize) set up *in his office* so he and his office manager can chill, he hand-built the very attractive reception table out of stone, he was ecstatic that I recognized the Funko Pop of the Goblin King from Labyrinth immediately, and I introduced him to Randall Munroe (XKCD guy)'s What If?, to McCall's cosplay site with the wing pattern, and to Things I Won't Work With.   This is the call of my tribe:  Have you read this book?  And this?  And this?

Nice guy.  Did thorough eye exam.  Now I shall be glasses-free for two weeks, and I need glasses for both short and long vision.  Sigh.  (I have a pair of frames I adore, and I'm putting new lenses in them, and I don't have a backup.)

Also, as edenfalling  kindly warned me, the replacement Note 7s are already blowing up.  Or at least one did.  On an airplane.  Fortunately, parked on the ground.  I'm afraid that's that, and I'll be stuck with my Galaxy 7 Edge, which I do not love.

According to McCall's, Aqua-Man has wings? What?

Thank you, and you are an awesome person. We're lucky enough to be able to afford them.
