Autumn's arrival

I was just saying the other day that I was finally ready for it to be fall. It had been unseasonably warm here, with bright sunny, even humid, days. The calendar said September; the weather said July.

However, fall has arrived in Tennessee. Today, at least, feels like fall. It was in the fifties here this morning. It hasn't warmed up all that much today and there's a breeze. I wore a long-sleeve shirt and it still felt chilly.

It is perfect sleeping weather, and my body is not providing much resistance. I could curl up a cool stretch of floor right now.

Tonight, after work, I will go home, change into boo pants, lay on the couch with a book, and, probably, fall asleep rather promptly. I'm drinking darjeeling now so that I can make it that long. (Two and a half hours to go! *sigh*)

While my wife is back on the road and I'm waiting on my monthly paycheck (come on, Thursday!), I am devoting this week to just going home after work and catching up on reading. Simplicity beckons.

This story has nothing to do with boo pants, but it's so awesome I needed to share it.

Not our greatest champions

I have Google News track the phrase "no pants" and the word "pantsless." Sadly, most of the news stories I receive in my email involve criminal acts. They can usually be categorized as amusing tales of drunken idiots.




Today, for instance, in addition to the one I posted in my last entry, there came this story from Wisconsin of a man driving intoxicated with wearing pants or underpants.

Sigh.

Nudity and pantslessness are wonderful things, and I completely understand the need to be free when you've overindulged. But please never drink and drive. And don't do something else stupid that will wind up in the newspapers when you're not wearing pants. It only makes your life comedic.

Excuses, excuses

At least he had an excuse. Not a good one, but an excuse.

Lady Gaga and Style

A new book is coming out that focuses on Lady Gaga's sense of style.

You can read about it here.

I point this out, because as the writer of the article states: My favorite section of the book is "Going Pantsless" because, honestly, does anyone do it better than Gaga when it comes to showing some skin? Clearly, this person has not met me, but otherwise she's probably right.

You've always suspected and, in Slovenia, it's true.
