And on a related matter…For the first time in decades, and in order to survive the continual heat waves this summer, my dearly beloved (who has been eligible for the senior discount since the mid-70s) has begun wearing shorts. His choice of footwear? Sneakers. His choice of hose? Black socks. We recently attended a function in which most of the men were similarly garbed. It was perfect! I mentally titled the scene "The Geezer Brigade At The Picnic." We have managed – only just – to evade the fashion police all summer. Wear your socks 'n' sandals proudly!
