Just proves what a wonderful husband I am...

All I can say is, you found a good woman.

I just got a pair of shooting glasses from Craftsman sports in Chch. They're made by Randolph Engineering. I need prescription lenses so got the model that allows that, but they have lots of other models with a huge range of pretty coloured lenses you can swap around. Got excellent service from Craftsman, recommend them. But one thing I forgot to check with my optometrist, ha. I don't know how protective the corrective lenses really are. Hm.
