I used to wear a headlamp, Petzl, for reading in the dark or in restaurants who thought one candle per table was adequate lighting. I remember meeting friends at a restaurant, a couple, and when I put on my headlamp to read the menu the wife ordered me to take it off.

"I can't see the menu."
"You look like an idiot."
"I don't care."
"I demand you take that thing off." I whipped out a 3x5 index card and started writing. "What are you writing?" she demanded to know.

I held the card up and read, "Reason #186 I don't have a wife."

I like frontlit readers and if the light were to be too bright, I'm bright enough to turn it down. Now that I read Kindles, only one room in my house has lights bright enough to read by and it isn't the room where I sleep.
love your post

Perhaps it's time to give certain jokes a rest? They're dated and played out and even if they were funny once, they're really not funny any longer.

I really prefer reading with just daylight as it strains my eyes less. But in the evening it's great to have the front light. I turn it on only just enough so it has a similar 'reflection' to daylight reading.
