Eye doctors, reading glasses and trombones


Went to the eye doctor yesterday. Told the initial-exam person that I was "playing the trombone" when trying to read - I moved my arm up and down to show her - trying to find the place where my eyes worked best. Thought I probably needed reading glasses.... when the doctor came in he asked how long I had been playing the trombone and did I play with a group?

I explained that I don't actually play
the trombone - that its a figure of speech people use to show they might need reading glasses.... He said, oh, so you're not having trouble reading music when you play the trombone? It says here in your file you play the trombone.

Well, if it says it in the file it must be true. Apparently I now play the trombone.

I sort of need reading glasses - I only need one lens. The initial-exam person suggested I buy some reading glasses off-the-shelf and pop out one lens. Won't that be a good look? I wonder how that'll look while I'm playing the trombone.
