The Life and Times. . .

So it's starting to get hot again down here which means I'm starting to get this a lot: "Man John - aren't you uncomfortable in those pants? You must be burning up!"

So I'm like: "Good grief - you don't see people always asking if Indiana Jones is too warm or nagging John Wayne about wearing shorts!"

So they're like: "John, dude, - those are like superheros man."

So I'm like: "Bingo."

So they're like: "Whatever - just don't start wearing Superman's tights alright? If you ever want someone to talk to - my dad knows this guy."

I received a similar comment yesterday. I am considering a summer sans shorts. In So. Cal such conduct is anathema.

"The Adventures of Slackman"

At last report our hero was mowing a lawn in a pair of loafers, some khakis and a natty polo. The scent of cut grass and cologne filled the air.
From behind some bushes Slackman's nemesis GrungeDaddy and his henchman The Perspiration Kid looked on with malice. "Gosh, GrungeDaddy, not even a drop of sweat," marveled the Perspiration Kid.
"Don't worry, Kid, I've got a plan involving youth ministry and a slip and slide on a very hot day."

Join us next time at the same slack time and the same slack channel.

Windpants or soccer warm-ups are great on a slip and slide - believe that. Beware the shorts nazis!
