    Check out the new Goldfinch line from Tura. Very retro; plastic in black, tortoise etc. They have the gamut covered....frames with names like Costello, Depp, Redford, Lenon etc. And decent price point. Even a combination frame called Spike (after Spike Lee).

    And, don't get me started about kids in their early twenties who still have mommy calling to make their appts and order their contacts! Gheez! My 17 yr old makes all her own medical, dental appts. and knows what her insurance is....seriously!

    But, I will be happy to sell them a frame......

    Hey! I'm 46 also, but I think I've got it figure out.

    Get some jeans that are 2 sizes to big (we don't want to over do it) and pull your boxers out of the top of them, making them "puff out" over the top.

    Yeah, I think that's it. Oh! And grow your side-burns way down, and trim them straight across the bottom. (after you dye them) Oh, and if you're as presbyopic as I am, you might want to let someone else trim them. Oh, and clean the "Just For Men" out of your earlobes too.

    It's really not that difficult to be hip. I'm already there! (as far as I know, and most of the people I ask receive paychecks from me, so I may never know the truth)

    Should you really say, "hip", or any of its derivatives to anyone over 40? Your remarks might be misconstrued as some sort of personal observation...especially if you include "jeans" in the same comment.

    Have a great day.

    Now, where the heck IS that coffee?
