A few personal (and non-political, believe me I’ve got plenty of those) thoughts and updates on life over the last few weeks. We’re healthy and stable so far, thank goodness, but there’s always something interesting in the mundane.
- I’ve been harboring a quiet little secret that even my family has yet to notice. The jeans that I’ve worn nearly every day for six weeks have developed an enormous tear that’s fraying right in the upper thigh / crotch area. It’s providing a nice cooling breeze as the weather turns warmer.
- Normally I’d throw them out, but there’s something about this tear that is making me happy. Not only is the timing great (let’s be honest, you’re probably not even wearing pants as you’re reading this), but the location of is nearly perfect – it’s hidden by my legs when standing and just enough on the backside of my pants when seated.
- What can I say, I just like knowing it’s there when you don’t. It’s freeing, in a way. It’s like my own private cul-de-sack (misspelling intended), and I’m not changing until I’m literally exposing myself.
- Speaking of clothing, my daughter has decided to enlist me as a contestant on a daily game show she’s calling “Guess The Athleta”. Each evening, she asks me to look at my wife’s attire and determine how many pieces of Athleta brand apparel she’s wearing at any given moment.
- Since our quarantine time together has begun, the correct answer has yet to be “zero”.
