MR was telling me the other day that I looked completely
different without my glasses. He said
that he almost didn’t recognize me when I walked by. I didn’t think I looked that different
without my glasses on…more tired and older, maybe, definitely blinder…but that’s
all. I stood in the bathroom for five or
six minutes just pulling my glasses off and putting them back on again. I could still see me looking back at me.
But MR insists that I look different. So, maybe it’s just because I’m so familiar
with my own face. Maybe “outsiders” can’t
see what I see. Do you think that’s why
nobody could tell that Superman and Clark Kent were the same person?
