Sometime after the second conference call on Friday the puppy decided that the world was not paying enough attention to her.  She took her frustration out on the nearest inanimate object, a pair of prescription sunglasses.

So today’s shout-out goes to Marlene Marino of Verona Opticians. Somehow, in the five minutes between the distressed phone call and my arrival at her Bloomfield Avenue store, she had 10 possible replacement frames waiting for me to look at. She had the glasses measured and me back out the door in a flash–well before the third conference call started.
