Me and My Porsche...


I am so dog gone tired. I’m also a bit under the weather. I guess that is because I wasn’t very healthy this week. Let us see I had 3 Ice Caps from Timmy’s and horrors an upsized McDonald’s Quarter Pounder Meal in the midweek. Horrors! So no surprise that I got the sore throat and chills going on…

The highlight of my week, other than get phone calls and emails from my T-dot friends, certainly had to be finally getting replacement glasses from my parents. As you know, they got me a set for my birthday but we were not happy with the final results and had to return the product back to the vendors. We took a full refund and I decided to wait to consult my personal optician, Christine regarding the nuances of eyewear choice. Armed with that information I approached the vendors at Hauck located in the Parkland Mall here in Red Deer.

I had glanced through their selection at an earlier date and fell in love with the Porsche frame line. I quickly picked out a pair of P8000 series titanium frames and opted for Nikon 1.74 high-index lenses which are currently the most cutting edge of all lens designs. The optician told me that my lenses would take about a month to arrive from Japan since they were a specialty item. I told them I had waited over a year to replace my Perry Ellis frames and one month would not hurt especially if I liked the end results.

Surprisingly, due to an early shipment of lenses, my eyewear was ready yesterday evening and I had my glasses on my face sooner than I thought. I am stoked about that development and I love my new eyewear. They definitely take my look into a new direction while keeping the same general vibe. And gosh are they light!!!

Anyway I had better go eat supper and hit the sack early. I don’t feel very well and I good long sleep with will do me good. Before go I’d like the thank Andrea for keeping my company this week and for the book. I hope find time to read it and explore what appears to be a fascinating world!
