“Good morning, Mr. Voakes…this is the wake-up call you did not order”.
~Life
It was a normal, crisp and cold October morning…alarm, bathroom, get dressed. It was that last one…”get dressed” where things went awry. As a high school music teacher, I spent a fair amount of time wearing khaki pants with comfortable button down shirts and cool (at least I thought so), suede shoes. As I pulled on the pants, I realized that they were just not fitting all that well.
My first thought was: “Well, it looks like I’m going to have to go buy size 40 pants this weekend.”

My second thought was: “Oh, hell no, I am NOT going to go buy size 40 pants this weekend”.
