I went in for my annual eye check-up today, and my eye doctor chastised me for being boring.
"You're not giving me much to do here," he scolded.
My eyes haven't changed since last year, the year before, or the year before that. Even my light prescription is still the same -- and I only wear glasses in movie theaters.
Back when I was twelve, a specialist in Boston told me that my vision would not change for most of my life. In other words, I can expect not to expect anything new.
Medical science gets headlines when they discover cures or new diseases, but rarely for the ability to predict that nothing will happen. I, for one, am glad to make no headlines today.
If we miss the point, the point's too small.
