Tear and Air vs. Clean or Cling?

      My husband Blair and I had to go to Southern California on business about a year ago. We drove and as usual, we stopped along the way to spend the night (rarely do we drive all the way in one stint now). We stopped at a nice hotel in Mesquite (the only nice hotel there), parked at the front of the hotel where the Bell Hop station is located. Walked all the way through the Casino, stood in line in the check-in area, walked all the way back through the Casino to the front to the hotel to get our things out and park the car when the Bell Hop approached and whispered to Blair; "Are you aware that you have a tear in your pants?"

      A tear in his pants! It was more like the opening to a Circus Tent! It went from the top of his back pocket to his knee! His whole backside was hanging out! I can't believe he didn't feel the breeze. I had to walk behind him practically attached to him, all the way back through the Casino to get him to our room. That should have been an omen of what our trip would be like.

      The following day, we were in Orange County, CA at the famous OC Swap Meet. If you haven't been there it is HUGE; with thousands of people, crowded aisles, about 400-500 exhibits, and lots of music, food, and bargains. Well, the gallon or so of Diet Coke I had consumed along the way was taking effect and I made one of my customary ten stops at the Women's room. Afterwards, we enjoyed about 30 minutes of walking, shopping, laughing and mingling with the crowds. Suddenly a young woman tapped me on the arm and said; "Are you aware you have the toilet seat cover hanging from your pants?" Am I aware??? The only thing I could say since I was already embarrassed beyond belief was, "Well, at least people know I use one!" I thanked her profusely and tried to be discrete in it's removal. It's one thing to drag toilet paper around that is stuck to one's shoe, but to walk around with a toilet seat cover hanging from one's waistband is slightly more humiliating.

      We have to BE AWARE and work as a team at this age, check each other out to make sure we are in one piece and haven't put on one blue shoe and one black shoe. Keep active and make sure Silver is Sensational!
