That means that they drag on the floor which is cool if you are 18. I am not 18. I am over 18. I am not going for cool. I am going for covering my hinney. My pants now drag be-cause I don't have a belt. The last time I saw a belt was when my daughter had too much cough syrup and got so hyper that she smacked her brother. And my pants are frayed for that same reason, plus the fact that my son now wears them and he is two inches shorter that I am. Rather than adjust-ing the waist, he lets friction adjust the hem. f by Davison Cheney Today, as I searched through the house for clothes to wear, I spent a short minute between cursing to reminisce about the time when I was the only man around the house, and I had free access to all of my clothes with a frivolous impunity of a... a. ..young man with a whole bunch of clothes. I used to have shirts. Sev-eral of them. Hanging. In the closet. Blues, whites, one both blue and white... yellow even. Many with but-tons. Tasteful ones like the one you see in the office, - not my office perhaps, but a nice one somewhere with a recep-tionist that doesn't chew gum. And there were slacks that, though not matching exactly, coordinated with the shirts in a manly sort of way, in man-is- h colors such as black, brown, and the occasional blue, both navy and royal, and a which was my favorite. And they were not pants. They were slacks. There was a time when I knew the difference. Belts. I had belts. More than two. I have pictures of me wearing stylish belts. Saving the best for last in my quick minute to recall, I remembered that once I had socks that matched. I had a thing for socks. I liked wear-ing them between my feet and shoes and sometimes alone with no shoes at all. I liked the thick wool ones that made me look like I had ankles instead of chicken stilts. Underwear. I would like to take this opportunity to talk about my underwear. I had some once. I think I had white underwear. And I remember having clean white tee shirts. Oh my, I think I've done it. I think I am starting to tear-u- p. No use getting all emotional about it, because THOSE DAYS ARE OVER, BUDDY! I consider myself lucky these days if the paint I used on my ankles doesn't run when I sweat. Once in a while I will see one of my formerly adored hosiery being used as a rag to clean dishes off, and I smile fondly and drift off while I stand at the kitchen sink and clean off lasagna and asparagus sauce. My pants are now all frayed at the bottom. I understand that pants are supposed to sag now- - You see, my oldest son, has decided that since I was such a bad father that I owe him big. I can't say as I blame him. And since I have no money, or cars, or money, he is taking his pound of flesh in clothes. And food. So there is never any food or any clothes. I don't know where they go. I get glimpses every so of-ten. Last week I saw photos on my son's face book page, and voila! There he was eat-ing my sandwich, wearing my polo sweater and brown slacks. Pants now. Slacks don't have frayed hems. I have offered to send my son to therapy so he can talk out any problems he still has with the way he was raised. His mother and I started sav-ing years ago for the therapy that we knew would be com-ing. Notjustforhim, but for all of the kids we come in contact with. Some people save for their kids college funds. We save up for therapy. Maybe once he has moved out and starts wearing some-body else's own clothes, I can take some of the money he is not using by wearing mine and use it to replace a few shirts. And maybe I'll splurge on a pair of socks. I could get used to socks again. "Moments" continued from Page 2 you all enjoyed this holiday and remembered what it truly means to be an American. It is more than just a name; it is more than that. It is going to school, it is achieving your dreams. It is fighting for freedom. It is standing up for,. ..what, .you . believe in. It is working hard and being successful at whatever occupation or job you want. It is morals and attitude. It is loyalty. It is so many things. The Fourth of July is one day we get to celebrate freedom and how it feels to be part of a great country! but came full circle back to where I started. I have always loved to write. I have been writing since as long as I can remember. I write novels and enjoy putting words on paper and entertaining. I love it with all my heart. Even though I may not be, the best at Englishtr I do iove.writing.il. j s u So I want to be a well known author one day. That is my dream. I am not held back because I am a woman. I am not held back by my age. I am not held back at all. If I want to succeed, all I have to do is do it. Action is everything. If I say I can't, then I can't. But, there is no law that is holding me back. I am grateful I can follow my dreams. Any of us can. Iam grateful to be a part of a country that is free. I am grateful I can celebrate it with my family and those near to me. I am grateful to. live. here. .1 am .grateful .for ,. those who help it move forward.! We must always remember the ' past and those who gave us our rights today. But, we must also be the ones to fight for our rights and continue the freedoms we've been given. We want to be part of that legacy of freedom. So hopefully .
