sartorial notes

Two things related to the warm weather.

1. I bought some (devastating!) shoes yesterday and noticed that when you try on shoes they don't give you a stocking, sock, whatever to try them with. Is it because no one wears socks? Aside from the gym, I'm living in a sock free nation. Go sandals!

2. My new friend Ively told me a funny story about her son. She bought him a pirate costume for Halloween with pants, shirt, etc. He tried on the pants and despite all evidence to the contrary, kept insisting the pants were too long. Turns out they did fit, but he thought they were too big because the pants were long! The tyke has worn shorts for his whole pants-memory.

Shore leave beckons! Back in NYC friday night.... see you for fleet week!
