newbuzz...If you have bifocals, you should wear them all the time. This is a lesson I learned recently after making an embarrassing graduation gaffe. It is high school graduation season in my community and families customarily have large parties and open houses to celebrate. Friends and family are expected to bring a gift and it is usually money placed in a card. Last year I bought a pack of several cards and used a couple of them. I knew they were left over and pulled them out again for this year. I had a party to attend and quickly signed a card, tucked a bill into the envelope, sealed it, and gave it to the graduate. The next week, I had another party to attend. This time, I had my glasses on as I picked up the card for my signature and the money. Wow, what a surprise I got as I read the front of the card! Not only did it say, "Congratulations Graduate," but there in each of the colorful balloons, it also said, "2008". I did not have time to get another card, and quickly made the choice to use the outdated card again. I explained that I have gone green and this is a way to reduce my carbon footprint, but I threw out the rest of the cards.
