Okay: shorts. I mean the short kind. I've been thinking about them ever since the weather started warming up, and I was pulling out shorts of yore, and buying new ones. Exactly how short can a lady my age go, I wondered... and what I've decided is this: Nobody's perfect. No body is, either... … [Read more...]
