FLIP FLOPS AND TOMMY BAHAMA

I first remember flip flops from the Republican Convention when delegates in reference to algore's waffling chanted "flip flop" as they hit the sandals together. Tommy Bahama's I first experienced in Florida. I still like the smell of the shirts and candles.

But as a sign of increasing age, my body no longer is fashionable. I can't stand the single strap between by big toes and the others. I don't like to wear Tommy Bahama shirts on the outside. To get one to fit me properly, I have to go to a larger size, then it's too long to remain untucked.

And my favorite style, a tank top and cutoffs with open heels and toes, just doesn't cut it anymore. Except at Sprouts or Frys groceries.

Oh well, I held on to Sperrys boat shoes too long, too.
