Pen Glasses

November 23rd, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

I visited Bess in Madison a week or so ago, and somewhere during the visit one of the ear-hangers on my reading glasses snapped off.  I think I have about 10 pair of reading glasses with the ear hanger snapped off.

Bess had the clever idea of taping a pen to the frame to create a replacement ear hanger.  Having been a carpenter who lost many a pencil behind my ear, I could immediately see the practicality of this.

So here’s my first attempt.  The pen is hard to use as a pen, as it turns out, because the glasses flop down and get in the way.

What an invention.  You do have to watch that you don’t poke your eye with the pen.  A pen does make for a very comfortable ear hanger, and you do have a pen handy.  Of course you can’t see to write, but then you can’t have everything.
