Moving Forward

Picture this:  Sitting in front of my locker, having already showered, shaved, etc., I am just testing to see if a certain pair of socks can be deemed ‘reusable’ for the day.  There’s no other way to assess, than to place the sock within sniffing distance, right?  Well, just as I take the whif, one of the gym’s personal trainers, Mr. Jaron Tate of last year’s The Biggest Loser fame, rounds the corner and observes me during the midst of my sock assessment.

 "You did not just smell that sock, did you?" he asked half-surprised and half-amused.  The look on his face will forever be burned into my memory banks.  We had a good laugh, then I made the comment, "Acceptable!", and proceeded to dress myself for the day.
