Next week I will be better than you!

What is the blue giant doing?  And why is he wearing socks with sandals?  He’s cutting granite, and he was too lazy to put on shoes.  What’s wrong with a little sock/sandal action within my own house?  Nothing!

There are better ways of doing this.

There are better ways of doing this.

At 3:20 pm it occurred to me that my kids were waiting to be picked up from school, leaving no time to change footwear or shower away my layer of granite dust.  One reason I enjoy living in West View is that sock/sandal action is a step up from the community’s sartorial mean.  After picking up the nerds, I rushed Zach off to his eye appointment at the mall (not in West View), once again allowing no time to change footwear.  People at the mall were not impressed with my sandals.

You can judge my sock/sandal indiscretion all you want, but next week my freshly opened granite space will contain a Viking cooktop.  Viking!  What does a Viking cooktop mean?  In suburban sprawl or downtown condo terms, it means I’m better than you.  So there!

Looking spiffy, Old Man. Well, at least your counter is. The socks and sandals, not so much….. We may be done with our plaster disasters for the foreseeable future, but it would be great if we could all come up with another excuse to play sometime. Been way too long…. PS – World’s most beautiful bookshelves send their best.

Didn’t you already get in trouble for picking on us “dub-vee” residents? Just remember, we can kick your arse any day old man…..

I witnessed the whole sock and sandal mess @ the mall. I was going to pretend I did not know you but I felt sorry for you. Hopefully you counter tops are worth all of the embarrassment……
