FUN: Went “shopping” today and my expertise was essential

Mario Junior, my FACETIME buddy, — he FACETIMEs me after work and chats about his day while his parent are shocked to find us chatting — went shopping for his Communion suit. Thrilling.

But!

Mom was planning a blue suit, white shirt, and BROWN shoes.

Both the male salesman and I convinced Mom that black shoes with laces was required.

She conceded.

Amazing!

A fat old white guy injineer giving fashion advice!

The world is going to end!

The Mayans were wrong; the world will end tomorrow. The Universe’s problem has been solved. The Karmic wheel has been stopped. Occam’s razor went dull.

Injineers have finally evolved to the final stage of Nirvanah.

Dispensing fashion advice!

    Figures you and your sister have the same INCORRECT color style for a formal church occasion. In my day, the uniform was specified. And, if you didn’t pass muster, you didn’t get to do the deed. But had to repeat it at another time. Argh! Now days, I’m sure anything goes. Flip flops, shorts, brown shoes with a solid blue suit. Are you kidding me? Really! Does Jen know you’ve posted this? I’m shocked. “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Captain Renault in Casablanca! Really, blue suits are a big concession from the white we had to wear. Argh! Blue suit with brown shoes. Maybe in Iowa.

    Wish I could have seen this charlie foxtrot. BTW, depending on the blue and the pinstripes a light to mid brown lace up works well. IMHO.
