Well, if that's going to be the way it is, I'm just not gonna wear pants anymore.

Just got a moment to go eat lunch, and as I was walking down the street, something caught my eye. I looked down, and noticed that in lieu of the nice pair of gray slacks I THOUGHT I had put on this morning, I was wearing the kinda taupey-brownish pair. With my black shoes and socks. And a red tie.

I noticed they felt funny this morning--not that I can feel color, but the taupe pair of pants is a different size. But I didn't really think anything about it. They LOOKED gray. In the dark. While I was half asleep. But let me tell you, outdoors they are noticeably off-kilter-looking with black shoes. The ties not SO bad, seeing as how it has tiny tan circles on it, and it's a dark red that could conceivably coordinate with the pants. But it all would have been much better with gray pants.

So, I have just decided not to every wear pants ever again.

It could have been worse. Your day could have involved a combination lock and fip-flops. Both of which go well with taupe or even ecru, BTW.

Combination lock and flip-flops, eh? You college professors sure lead an interesting life. Not that there's anything WRONG with that...

One other good thing is as marsupial type possum you can't carry rabies. Why you ask does a Chef need such arcane learning? Because I killed bats in 2 houses this weekend, somehow I don't think bat herding is going to be prominent on the ol CV anytime soon. So I save the lil bat corpse's and trundle off to the DNR and get them checked. Now comes the fun part of waiting to know if either is infected and bat proofing. Bleh!

I sure hope you had your pants on.

You are so funny. At least it wasn't mismatched shoes. And at least your pants legs are attached to each other so you can't mismatch those.

Nor was I attacked by giant rabid wing'd mammals.
