i know that it is spring and we are all tempted to break out the sandals. most of us realize that a little help is needed to cure the winter feet.

but please, scary man in the corner of medieval lit., please, please, please, do not ever wear giant, thick, mismatched athletic socks with flip flops ever again. honestly, i couldn't concentrate on anything but those twisted distorted toes smashed into penquin-esque shapes by the thong of the flip flop.

i am still recovering.

wrong, i tell ya. just plain wrong.

and while i am at it. i, like many of us, have put on a few winter pounds. not a problem. spring is here and i am sure to get right on that. but, if you have belly flab there are two important points i would like to offer.

1 - the mirror rule. that skimpy little tee might not fit the way it used to. please check. it only takes a second. it's worth it.

2 - if, failing the common sense mirror rule above, you wear the tiny ill-fitting shirt to class, do not spending the entire class fondling and pinching said belly flab. it is not play-doh.

this has been a spring public service announcement. thank you.
