Snowmelt and bifocals
Two bits of news:
1. As part of their celebration of National Poetry Month, Tor.com has reprinted Snowmelt. I still love this poem.
2. I've picked up the bifocals. I fear these are not going to work out. What neither the eye doctor nor I considered is that since moving my head can induce dizziness or vertigo, I've been instinctively doing less of that over the past four years, moving my eyes instead -- which with the bifocals induces dizziness and vertigo. You can see the problem. I will keep trying for a few more days, but I fear I'm about to head back and just get the regular prescription and carry reading glasses around.
The sunglasses, though, are excellent.
In related news I am developing an extremely bad headache, so, later.
