I’m getting used to being a Fashion Icon, at least when it comes to my feet. Marjorie messaged me from Sacramento, California this morning, “please be sure to show us your socks today, I am really looking forward to seeing them. Phil, my husband, who is a dull dresser like you (no offense), could use some color in his wardrobe. He likes to read your blog, maybe you will inspire him to let me buy him some colorful socks. His are black..”

Go for it, Phil, these socks are becoming a kind of fashion thing. Who woulda thought?

This is what the life of a Fashion Icon is like, I guess, you have to accept being a trendsetter. I’m getting a bunch of e-mails admiring my socks, I might give Dr. Fauci a run for his money as a heartthrob.

Maria calls me “studly.”
