I’ve been telling my wife for the past couple of weeks now that I need a new pair of shoes.  She keeps telling me to go out and buy a pair! I don’t think she is understanding that what I want is for her to go with me to buy them!  I like to get her opinion when I’m shopping for things that I wear; after all, she is going to have to look at me wearing them!  So I guess next time I bring it up I’ll have to spell it out that I actually want her to come with me!

I’ve also been telling her that I want to buy some new gray crew socks.  That’s a departure for me; I usually only buy white crew socks.  Again, she told me to go ahead and buy some.  The problem is that she has been buying the family’s socks for so long that I’m not sure what brand it is that she buys!  I just know that the socks that I want are the same socks that our son wears.  I told her I’d use a laundry marker to mark the toes on the socks so we could keep them separate; I think we wear the same size.

I’ve been hearing that there are going to be 5,000 porta potties in the areas around DC that are going to have crowds for the inauguration.  For the expected 2 million people that will be there, that is NOT a lot of porta potties!  My wife was joking that if we were to go there, she thinks that the lines would be so long that she would have to spend all of her time in line for the porta potty!  By the time she got to the porta potty and out again, she would have to go back to the end of the line to go in again!  I guess going to the inauguration is NOT for the weak bladdered!  We plan to watch the inauguration on television; the weathermen say it is going to be way too cold for us to want to actually be there!  The crowds will be a nightmare unto themselves anyway.  Nope, gonna stay home, where it’s warm and we can actually see and hear something besides the crowd’s noises!
