VFW Post 912 — Veterans of Foreign
I’m really ashamed - and
somewhat sorrowful - that 1
must herewith confess that a few
days ago 1 wore white socks in
public. This wasn’t with boots or
tennis shoes, either. 1 had on
lace-up shoes.
1 do so want to look studly
and chic when I venture out. But
a nice shirt and dress panLs
accompanied by lace-up shoes
and WHITE socks obviously
obliterates the fashion statement
that men of my stature want to
make.
I'm solidly ashamed. I ask
your forgiveness.
Actually, though, it wasn't my
fault. It was Trey Kraemer’s. Trey
is the fiery, thousand-miles-a-
minute principal at Ross S.
Sterling High. Yeah, it was Trey\
fault.
It happened because of a
breakfast meeting 1 attended.
Knowing 1 finished 56th in my
graduating class and that I’d
bring plenty of educational savvy
to a table packed with flapjacks, I
highly suspected Trey wanted to
“pick my brain” about trigonom-
etry and stuff. That’s what 1 fig-
ured.
Unfortunately, in our great
country, breakfast is traditionally
served in the early morning
hours. Because I have plenty of
work to conduct in the Bat Cave,
it’s really tedious to get dressed
and get out as required by
“Breakfast Law.”
Continuing on, the other rea-
son breakfast is a problem is that
I’m a creature of habit. I do the
same things the same way, day
in, day out. (Borrrring.)
An example. When I arise
each day 1 dress in my exercise
clothes consisting of a sweatshirt,
old Wranglers, green tennis
shoes and white socks. (How I
look in the Bat Cave doesn’t
matter.)
I then begin churning out
another award-winning column,
for the pleasure of the reading
public. Next, without fail, 1 step
aboard my treadmill and do a
mile-plus. That’s what 1 do, day
in, day out.
Nonetheless, 1 knew more
than 2,700 kids at BossRoss
were counting on me. Being gen-
erous and giving to a fault, I was
ready to make the sacrifice and
go to breakfast, even though this
would throw me behind
schedule.
As 1 dressed to meet Trey-
with visions of chemistry formu-
las and corporal punishment
dancing in my head -1 dug deep
to figure out a way to make up
some of the time I ’d lose by leav-
ing home early to offer scholarly
advice to the Sterling principal.
That’s when I made a major,
flawed mistake, one that would
surely drive Ralph Lauren
bonkers.
Figuring I could save at least
14 seconds by not having to
change socks when 1 returned
home and resumed my normal
daily grind, I did the unthinkable.
1 slipped on my white exercise
socks. How uncouth.
It served me right. 1 could see
people pointing at me and then
suddenly turning away as I
entered Cracker Barrel. I heard
the chuckling, the sarcasm.
At that embarrassing moment
1 thought about how the world
has changed. As teens, the crowd
1 hung with wouldn’t be caught
dead in colored socks. If our
male hosiery wasn’t white, we
weren’t going to wear it.
Remember?
Today, however, only David ’
Lettermen wears white socks
with his $6,089 suits. It apparent-
ly doesn’t bother him. It does
me.
But I guess my sin of wearing
visible white socks is better than
those guys who wear walking
shorts with lace-up shoes and
BLACK socks. Awful, just
awful.
At least my recent failing
wasn’t my fault. It was Trey’s.
