I do not wear suits -- the last time was the tux I rented for my son, Patrick's, wedding nine years ago. But I do wear sweaters. Some time ago, maybe when most of the readers of this blog were in grade school, I bought a couple of sweaters. And then there are the sweaters I bought on my honeymoon in Wales, twenty-four years ago. So I think I need one or two new sweaters, ones without holes in the elbows. Since I wear them for warmth, I thought to myself that I might even go big, and spend a hundred bucks for a cashmere sweater.
Then I did a little on-line shopping. Wool/Cashmere mix sweaters start at $350 0r $400! When did this happen? How long have I been asleep? I could feed Susie and myself for three weeks for that, and even have swordfish every so often.
I think I better go back to sleep.
I think you can do much better than that, professor. Don't go back to your dogmatic slumber and keep shopping (it's the American way)
ReplyDeleteI love the comment! I shall look for a discount store.
ReplyDeleteInspired by imcdpe, I searched and found a store with a two for one sale, so I now have two cashmere sweaters for the price of one! Even at half price, they are expensive by my way of thinking, but I shan't need any more sweaters until I am about eighty-five, so now all I need is some moth flakes and my shopping is done for the decade. Whew. Back to thinking about politics and mini-tutorials.
