"I have reached an age when, if someone tells me to wear socks, I don't have to." --Albert Einstein
Of all the days to stumble across Al's theory on the privilege of 'earning your stripes'--yesterday was it.
I'm sure I sounded profound when I slipped that one out and lifted my slacks to show I wasn't wearing any. LOL
And yep.
That was deliberate.
Somethings I really DO do with malice and forethought. :-)
And today..........stripey and heart socks.
Or......maybe spiders and ghosts?
OR maybe witches and bats!
One on each foot, of course. LOL
It's a BEAUTIFUL day for messin' with people! LOLOL

I love the freedom of going out looking like a complete dork sometimes.
when I first read that I got the lines in the wrong order and thought you weren't wearing any slacks
d'oh!
I get cold feet if I don't wear socks in the autumn. . . but I never wear socks in the spring
go figure

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

"If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."
or
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
or all of
these.

And all of that, made me think of this:
Warning
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Lil' sis it's always a beautiful day to mess with people who get pleasure in messing with you.
Your Bro,

Ohhhhhhhh......thank you, Mr. A!
Al's one of my favoritest quoteables today.
(mostly cuz of the socks! LOL But that 'x' factor will definitely come a close second!)
