We're within 27 hours of takeoff time. We are making phone calls, ironing and Kathy is working. In 50 hours, we'll be in Stillwater, Oklahoma, staying at the Best Western. How many people can say that?
I took my cute unworn Naot sandals back to Shoes N Feet, exchanging them for Teresias with a velcro closure rather than the buckle. The Teresias are marvelous, as would the Naots have been. But velcro is easier than buckles. We all come to that conclusion in our lives if we live that long.
My wardrobe is assembled: Two pairs of linen pants, which will keep me cool while bagging out badly, one pair of white jeans, a pair of black shorts, and, to be worn on the plane, safari pants, which I described in more detail just two weeks ago. Three linen tops, none of which I will bother to iron before packing, one really darling black linen pintuck jacket from Orvis. The jacket is a crossover piece. It will serve as recreationwear and will take me to work (my new job starts two months from today). Two t-shirts, yoga clothes.
I would like to lodge a web-complaint about crop pants. I own two pair and notice (see above paragraph) that they are not going on the trip with me. I bought one pair at Costco last year when visiting Jan and Candy and wore them 16 hours a day, everyday. I bought another pair in Kuaui. But these things have no shape, have nothing to recommend them at all. We are looking for a pair of lightweight full length normalwear pants for Kathy and all we could find were crop pants. Clothing retailers, we are not all spending all of our time this summer in the pea patch or oppressing the children at the beach. We need full-length pants. Even the saleswoman said so. And she should know.
Novels ask questions and then answer them. The questions/issues I am addressing in mine are:
1) What kind of world is this anyway?
2) Fairness
3) What do we do about the suffering of others?
4) Connection
