It is approximately 130 days until the wedding and there exists a flurry of activity.  Dorothy  is in San Antonio/Austin to look at several different things connected with the rehersal dinner and is also looking for shoes.  Let me set this situation up for you.  This is a 69 year old woman who has not worn a pair of “high heeled” shoes since the late 70’s.  Not knowing a damned thing about ladies fashions, I assumed that she would wear a pair of “flats”.  I was told that “flats” were unacceptable.  I asked about “wedge” heels and was told that such a thing no longer existed.  From this information I can only surmise that Albert Einstien wasted his time on that damned relativity theory.  He should have been concentrating on something really meaningful, such as female dress fashions.  I am not using his relativity theory very often and I am not getting much from the few fashion reality shows that Dorothy watches so I am at a bit of a loss about the whole thing.  What are golden aged women supposed to wear?  I have seen the newest shoe designs on some young ladies and lord, the only thing i can think of is, “Do you reckon the gal is hooking just to pay for those shoes?”.  I couldnt walk in a pair of those things if I was carrying ski poles and a pillow strapped to my butt.  Dorothy has indicated that she bought a pair of heels but has not indicated whether they are the six inch spike heels that Fredricks of Hollywood made famous.  Surely not.  Those spike heels could be used by swamp people to gig frogs but I dont see much else they could be good for.  They make the wearer’s butt bounce and the Lord knows that we dont want to see any bouncing butts at our age. 

So, a word to the fashion world.  Give the gals a break.  Get back to making some of those “wedge” heels.  Even Nuns need a small heel on certain occasions and I just cant see there being a pair of hooker heels being worn under the habit, or by many of my wife’s peers.
