Socks

Going to Fleet Farm today 

reminded me of the way

my dad used to buy me socks

when he saw they were on sale there.  

And apparently 

socks were on sale at Fleet 

constantly. 

So, I built a ridiculous surplus of socks

thanks to Bill. 

My dresser drawer is very

very well-stocked with socks. 

I never had the heart to say,

“Dude, enough with the socks!” 

Looking back

I think “I got you socks” 

was code for 

“I love you.”

…

I got you socks too, dad.
