Dear Wife bought me a new pair of blue sweatpants. They were on sale for $14.00, which evidently is a good price these days. Last time I bought sweatpants for myself, back ~1970's, it was less than $5.00. IMHO, the sweatpants back them were better quality than the new ones today.

Dear Wife insisted that I get a new pair of sweatpants because my old ones are getting ripped and have a few small holes. So, a new pair showed up last week. Of course, the real reason I got new sweatpants is because Dear Wife bought herself some new clothes and she felt guilty about her purchase. Somehow, buying me a pair of sweatpants makes her feel less guilty about her clothes purchase.
I keep telling her that sooner or later I would probably see a good pair of used sweatpants at the Thrift Shop. She did not have to buy me a new pair. I really don't care about buying used clothes. I looked for maybe 3 months at the Thrift Shop for a pair of blue sweatpants, but nothing came through.
Of course, she buys the new sweatpants last week and this week I find a really nice pair of blue sweatpants at the Thrift Shop for only $2.00. So, I bought the sweatpants from the Thrift Shop. Oh well. Now I have two good pairs of blue sweatpants.
BTW, why can't an old man wear some old sweatpants with a few small rips and/or holes in them? I see young ladies running around town wearing brand new pants with rips and holes in all the inappropriate places and they call that fashion! My rips and holes in my pants were well earned. I'm just saying...

And yes, I have seen some young girls wearing pants like that around town. I don't get it. But I'm really getting old, I guess.
