Socks

A few months ago, I began wearing mismatched socks. Color, material, pattern…didn’t matter. The only qualifier to my mismatched socks routine is that I didn’t wear dress socks with activity shoes and shorts. That combination reminds me of old photographs of elderly men. *shudder* I’m not ready to join that tribe.

Wearing mismatched socks is liberating. There’s no worrying about matching and rolling or folding socks, whatever your preference, and no concerns about a ‘missing’ sock after doing the laundry. I just scoop up all the socks and dump them in a the sock drawer. So — it’s a time and energy saver, too!

Periscope

Have you ever been stopped in traffic, and wonder, “What’s going on up there?”, and wish you could raise a periscope in your car to see?

I have.

I’ve also wished my house had a periscope. It could be helpful when I’m looking for a missing cat, or to see where the firetrucks are going.

Thanksgiving

Our glasses were refilled from the pitchers, with the usual comments about head. I grinned at Ed as I slid his glass to him. “There you go, my friend,” I said. “Drink up.”

“Thanks,” he said. He seemed suddenly subdued. He’s a moody guy but he’d just been laughing and joking. I wondered what threw the switch.

“You okay?” I said.

He nodded and took a quick sip of beer.

“What are your Thanksgiving plans?” I said.

Ed shrugged. “Don’t know yet. Still firming.” Sitting up, he turned and looked at me. “I just realized while sitting here, that I don’t have any memories of Thanksgiving with Dad.”

“Sorry,” I said. “Wow. Did he pass early?”

“No, he’s still alive, almost ninety,” Ed said. “I guess he was either gone or working in the early years, and then he and Mom divorced. I visited with him after the divorce, but I guess I never spent Thanksgiving with him. It’s just a surprise to realize that.”

Pawphecy

Haz Mom

“I’m a haz mom,” she said.

“Oh, like the haz cheezeburger cats?”

“No, I mean I haz to wear a haz-mat suit when I talk to my kids, because most topics are so radioactive.”
