So since we're moving furniture and boxing up stuff, finding one's belongings isn't an instant process right now.
Yesterday we worked up until 10 minutes before we had to leave for a lunch appointment. I had to find a shirt in a color that would not look poisonous with the capris I had on. NOTHING worked, minutes ticking away. "I can't find a shirt that will go with these!" I yelled.
Larry answered instantly: "Black! White!"
"Don't have either!" (Findable at that moment)
"Gray!"
"Yes! Got it!"
Men are great outfit-simplifiers. For every problem, one of three answers will work. Black. White. Gray.

Um, are there other colors too?
I'm thinkin' it's about keeping it simple. I mean when I can go into a store and pick up a pair of Lee jeans, 32 30, I do not need to try them on. The color is consistent and it goes great with um, well, black, white or gray.
When I can go into a store and pick up a pair of jeans, 32 30, and they fit, I will know that I'd better see my doctor about this drastic weight loss.
When my husband asked what size I wore and I said "it depends", he was astonished. When I told him that sizes were smaller the more expensive the clothing, he was incredulous. If I could go into a store and buy a pair of jeans just by looking at numbers on the label it would be a miracle.
