The Fate of the Red Shorts...

Very very few of you will understand this post so perhaps a bit history is necessary. Several years ago, Dave and I went on vacation with his sister's family. Since we were headed to the tropics Dave packed only shorts and on arriving we realized the only color shorts packed were red. So everyday became red shorts day and the mantra that lives on whenever Dave wears red shorts is.....
Oh it's Friday so it must be red shorts day.....
or Oh it's shopping day so it must be red shorts day....
and so on.

Well at least one pair of Dave's red shorts have taken a beating this trip. They fell victim to an over-clorinated jacuzzi in Stuart and have begun to fall apart since. Dave hung onto them as long as possible but it became inevitable that the red (now pink from clorine) shorts had to go. So with a reluctant farwell Dave finally retired them to the dumpster drawer. Fortunately, he has other red shorts with which to continue the tradition.
