I Have on Two Black Socks

Big deal, right? Yes and no. When your lighting is as dim as ours and you are as pressed for time in the morning as I am, it is classed as one of the small victories.



Of course, if I chose my clothes (including socks) the night before (the way my wife suggests), I would have time to analyze the color composition of my socks at length. Or at least quickly under optimal illumination conditions.



The best lighting in our house is in the bathrooms. I suppose it’s because in the rest of the house, I look best in low light. The bathrooms support more visual activity, thus requiring more light. There is make-up to be applied (not by ME), teeth to be flossed, jaws that need to be shaved (this one is ONLY me…) and also only in my case, ear hairs to be removed.



So just now, on adjusting my socks, not only did I raise the sock, but my mood as well. And I have my phone, too.

A man speaks only when driven to speech by something outside himself - like, for instance, he can't find any clean socks.

The problem with losing your anonymity is that you can never go back.

There's nothing more ironic or contradictory than life itself.
