Desperately Seeking Shorts

This last week I threw out my 34's, 33's, and 32's, and realized I have no shorts now. What is cocktail hours at the pool without shorts. Am I suppose to wear big boy pants? I think not. Sure I have running shorts that moonlight as swim shorts, that will work most days.



Anyway, long story short ( no pun intended ), I went to Banana Republic and tried on their offerings. Nice shorts, but a little too long for my taste. I prefer knee length or above, ok at 5' 7" maybe I'm a bit short and on most they would be a good length. I blame my mother for drinking Margarita's while breast feeding. True story, she told me about it. She wondered why I slept for about 24 hours when her friend Sally brought up the breastfeeding/Margarita thing. I digress. J. Crew had the cargo shorts I was looking for. I looked at Gap too, so it's not as if I didn't look around. No we don't have a Walmart, and Target's shorts are all too long.



My point is this. I found shorts and they are a 30 waist. It's been a year this May I was squeezing into my 34 jeans and shorts, feeling very fat. Today I tried on the 30's and they felt great. Maybe a tad loose, but a washing should make them feel like a welcome addition.



The 18 miles happened yesteday. Tough run but I felt good. Little League Opening Day was yesterday and that went well, the kid's had a good time and everything came together. You can't beat that. Corned Beef and Cabbage happened, but Guinness didn't, sorry. I fell asleep a quarter into Borat, I was laughing in my sleep though. I was just too exhausted after running.



Yeah, life is interesting around here. Remind me to bring up the weight loss and the boat. Oh yeah, the Mexican Military and M-16s on the beach after the Rosarita 50 Mile Bike ride in 1986, I'm lucky to be here.
