Jimmy – GQ is Waiting

Me Knows Better Than to Say This… but I will.  This morning, I got up early to play a little golf.  Since it was a bit chilly, I elected to throw on some jeans with a golf shirt and I topped it off with a comfortable sweatshirt which coincidently has the name of the club embroidered on it.  (What Jimmy is failing to mention is that his favorite sweatshirt has been just that - his favorite for the last 15 years and is a bit - by some generous standards - frayed around the collar).  Also, he failed to mention that the color combination did not match the golf shirt.

The moment I put it on, my wife looked at me and commented, “Uh… that doesn’t go together and that sweatshirt needed to be thrown out ten years ago… and jeans?  You can’t wear those up there.” 

“Hey, it’s my favorite sweatshirt and I play better when I am comfortable.”

She responded, “At least do something with the sweatshirt and get something that matches this time… and take that frayed thing immediately to the garbage can.  It’s so bad, you can’t even give it to Goodwill.”

As I walked back to the closet to change I heard her mumble, “Men… you can dress ’em up…  No… in your case, I can’t even do that.”

Looks like GQ will be waiting for Jimmy a little longer than usual.

  1. Keep the sweatshirt Jimmy. You should be allowed one....there will come a day when you decide to get rid of it. :0)

  2. I agree - keep the sweatshirt... I think I still have a pair of jeans that were ripped in the knee and I wore them when I was perhaps 26? Back when I was a size 3-going on 1...not the best time in my life...but loved the jeans. Let's see...one thigh may fit in the waist now... :-)...

    Be comfortable...be you....
