So what if my wardrobe is straight out of Caddyshack?
It's Monday. Busy day at work today, but no school this week, so my evenings are free to spend with the Mrs. Here's what's going on:
I wore a pair of madras pants to church yesterday. While there, I fielded my fair share of smart comments from my fellow parishioners.
But I kept my head held high, secure in the knowledge that madras is "in" this summer. And I was proud that I had beaten this madras and seersucker fad by a full two years, since I bought these pants and a seersucker suit in 2005.
Which should tell you that I am a keen trend-spotter. Or that I have looked like an idiot for the last two years.
Anyhow, Wife and Son took off to the grocery store after church and followed me to my closet to get changed. As I opened my closet door, Daughter pointed to my pants and asked:
"Daddy, are those your pajamas?"
I've found another song to which I can not stop listening. It's weird how many times I've listened to this since I downloaded it on Saturday.
It's called "Stolen" by Dashboard Confessional. It's got a lot of brooding, teen-angst appeal to it and, like I said, I can't make myself stop playing it.
I've been given a Thinking Blogger Award by Toni at In the Midst of This Season. I'm very grateful to Toni for the nod and will likely get my nominations up in the next day or so.

Check your email. You and the missus are going to crack up....
I'll confess I had to do a google image search on "madras" because I honestly wasn't 100% sure what you meant. There were a few pictures of men wearing women's pants, but then check out this sweet goldmine. No wonder why you raised some eyebrows at church. http://files.blog-city.com/files/aa/5565/p/f/hasselhoff_in_pants.jpg
The above comment is so funny. You should see the hasselhoff picture.
I am glad that you are trend setter and congrats on your nom.

Congrats on the nom, and good luck on the trendsetting w/ seersucker. I went to a wedding where a man where a peach and white seersucker suit with matching cumberbun. Not gonna lie, I was blind for about ten minutes. He looked like he was missing the Chiquita banana girl.
Found you through BooMama. Your blog is a great read!
I hope you didn't go to church looking like Hasselhoff.
I've had madras pants for years. It kind of bums me that every preppy-come-lately is wearing them now. We saw madras shorts on about half the people in Flordia a couple weeks ago.
