Awww so chock full of delights! Really loved your essay on eyes - what a rare experience you had as a kid to go from blur to unblemished. And thank you for the links, the Pluto poem and the Replenish, damn those made my day!

Thank you! I watched Replenish a dozen times and laughed every time. I'm glad it made you laugh too!

The Pluto poem seems to be very popular! I loved it too. So many layers.

My parents was thinking reading too much (esp. reading in late hours) could damage my eyes too, so they were turning lights down around 10-11 pm when i was a kid. My solution was reading books in my bed with my Walkman's little light, so this habit leaded me to my first eyeglasses when was 11 😄 and i remember asking my ophtalmologist "does reading too much damage eyes?" and he said not usually but reading on poor light might..

I also read in bed at night! But my grandmother was the same way, and she bought me a little clip-on book light. I still read at night lol. I just take breaks if I'm reading for a while.
