The best solution is to take a younger friend or train my grandchildren to

Nahhhh! Never depend on others in your old age, Fred. Buy those
glasses I told you about, or the kind that clip onto your normal eye
glasses or your hat. Tie on your own flies. Don't be a pussy, Fred.
Do it yourself, *with help from the wonderful world of science.*
