Glasses

One time I had a game with him and he had forgot to have his wife put them in. He knows that I wear contacts and asked me to put them in for him. It was a little weird (I'm glad nobody walked in while I was doing that), but I did put them in for him (once is enough).

His doctor's assistant finally gave him some personal "fitting training" and after a little practice, he can now do it by himself. Maybe you just need a little help.

Especially that coach's brother from Alaska!

I agree with everything in this post except - I couldn't afford that every year. Kudos to you if you can.
