Pants
Posted at 9:55 am on Monday, August 25, 2008, in Random Thoughts.
I have at least ten pairs of pants. But I only wear two or three of them regularly. Sure, I do have specialty pants for weddings, business meetings and nights out on the town, but I wouldn’t really consider them pants, at least in the comfortable sense of the word pants.
Pants are a lot like friends. You have a pretty good number of people you would consider friends, all of whom you could call up and meet at a bar for a beer or two (for those who drink), or a puff or two (for those who smoke). But there are actually only two or three that you’d really care to drink or smoke with on any given day.
So I ask myself, what am I to do with these extra pants? I will not wear them, but maybe, someday, they will be called into service. The weekend pants at the shore; the backyard pants; the long drive in the snow pants. There is always a chance. And that is why we remain “friends.”

With around ten pairs of pants, would it be fair to call you the “John McCain of Pants?”
