Tristan's glasses finally broke, after lasting an amazing six months. A bit of a pickle for us---Target Optical has a fabulous warranty, but it doesn't do much good when one moves to a state without even one Target Optical. So, since Tristan really can't do without them, we bit the bullet and I took him to an optometrist this afternoon. We're picking up the glasses tomorrow and I think the frames will end up better than our last. Jon and Tristan are going to Kansas City at the end of the month and will get warranty replacement glasses then, and we'll have a spare.

Revolt-worthy quote of the week, from Barbara Bush, at the Astrodome:

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you
know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she
chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."
