I meant nothing disparaging in the post, I hope you didn’t take it that way…
I usually didn’t mind, and I was really happy when ypu bought me a couple of Ocean Pacific shirts! Besides, the kids in Bolivar that made fun of me are in jail last I heard, and the kids in Tennessee I somehow managed to impress, and they stopped when they decided I was reasonably ‘cool.’ In fact, maybe I should go back to Tennessee. I don’t think I have ever had so many attractive ladies think I was interesting before!
For the record, I slept in my clothes not to get more sleep, but to keep from freezing in the morning. Just as often, I would just shove the clothes under the mountain of covers on my bed. That’s why my first stop every morning was the fireplace that you so graciously started well before I made it downstairs.
I think you did good for that amount of money. For whomever reads this blog. We didn’t shop at wal mart for clothes but did shop at Pennys and Sears. I don’t think I ever knew you wanted better clothes. This is the boy who slept in his clothes so he could stay in bed until the last minute in the winter.
