Re: [Paddlewise] Old Age

Hi,

I got a special offer from my optician, he is making me two sets of  
glasses at the price of one :-)

The fist ones are stylish (Swedish design) but the others are rather  
stupid looking, but have titanium frames, which makes them quite  
secure. I seem to break all the plastic glasses (the cheapest offers  
are here  2).
