Yes I do. If I didn't, there'd be smell to pay. I'd wear no-show socks, but I'd definitely be wearing socks.

Usually sock, sock, shoe, shoe, but we have little kitties that move shoes around, even while dressing. Two socks on a wooden floor, looking for shoes, can wind you up in splitsville. However, I slip the shoes off in the evening, and by morning my shoes are untied. Or tangled.

As a change of pace I tried sock, shoe, tie, sock, shoe, tie.

Almost always left foot but whether the show goes on before the other sock depends on the location of the shoes. If boots, it is sock, sock, boot, boot, tie, tie.

But what about Tai Chi? Doesn’t anybody know that to successfully arrive at Tai Chi…one must first accomplish Sock Chi and then Shoe Chi? That’s right!

To do this exercise correctly…first lay out your socks and shoes in front of you - then, without touching the ground with your hands…lift a foot into the air and balance on your other foot. Now, staying on one foot…reach down, grab a sock, and pull it onto the other foot (the one that’s in the air). Then, do the same with the other foot (always on one foot…and no touching the ground!) You have now arrived at “Sock Chi!”

Now…onto Shoe Chi. As for Sock Chi…with a foot in the air - reach down, grab a shoe, and pull it onto the correct foot…while that foot is still in the air. Then, do the same with the other foot…only allowing both feet to touch the ground at the same time after your shoes have both been pulled on. Good! Shoe Chi is yours!

Finally, onward to Tai Chi! Lift one foot with untied shoe into the air, and tie the correct overhand and bow knot while that shoe remains in the air. Now do the same with the other shoe. Got it? Good! You’ve finally achieved Tai (tie) Chi!

...but to achieve true mastery...you must do all three steps, but with one foot at a time...never touching the ground with that foot until you've arrived at Tai Chi with that foot!

While the above is a bit difficult…you will, assuming that you’ve actually succeeded in achieving Tai Chi, experience a newfound sense of accomplishment and, dare I say…enlightenment!

Now…where is that second glass of bourbon? Which reminds me…do not attempt the above exercise with a BAC of above about 0.8 (happens to be the legal limit here in Vermont) - could be dangerous!

...time to check back in with the Bikini Bottoms thread!

Right now, somewhere, is a website, where young female athletes (who high jump) frequent.

In their off-topic section, they have an ongoing thread with pictures of old men donning their shoes and socks. Dress socks. Tube socks. Christmas socks. Skinny legs. Fat legs. Hairy legs. Freshly removed socks, toenail fungus, pedal edema, and all.

Right now, they are scrolling through pictures of us. And they can't get enough.

I'm certain.

Seriously I don't think it would matter if you checked every planet in the universe.
