Ed Welch’s Vintage Eyeglasses and Antique Spectacles.
I recently had an antique rimless set of eyeglasses recut for my prescription. I purchased the spectacles on eBay for about $5. Unfortunately, the right temple earhook was broken. I had them repaired, and they are wearable, but the repair work shortened the earhook to the point that they require relatively frequent adjustment.
Perhaps Ed will be able to assist me.

Look at this amusing Google ad I saw in my Gmail window a minute ago:
It linked to http://www.google.com/, so I’m guessing it’s a test ad of some sort. I was disappointed, and had hoped to find some clever joke behind the footype.
uih! kjh kjh. uih!

The halo, as seen in news pics of politicos, has been commented upon in these pages before. This would appear to be the post-modern culmination of the art.

I have been rummaging through my computer and digital detritus of late – there is a lot – and was happily able to restore Viv’s iPod to full functionality. Taking advantage of this today as I mowed the lawn, I amused myself by bending an ear to the last BKB thing I worked on, a live demo CD of 13 songs I put together as a booking tool.
To my amusement, I chose to kick off the CD with two songs that feature, well, um… me on lead mandolin, no guitar in sight, on stage, or recorded. I’m sure that had nothing whatsoever to do with my decision, as I practice impartiality in all things.
As do you.
