Whenever Maria rags on me about the dull way I dress – which is often – I just pull up the legs of my jeans a few inches and ask her to dance. My new socks have given me a fashion sense, and for the first time in my life, people are noticing my socks and complimenting me on them.

No more stodgy dark blue for me, I’m heading for the runway. Maybe I’ll try to get on “The Final Cut,” on Amazon video, they’re giving a million bucks to the best designer they can find. My socks are a hit.
