For Sunday, I chose my most conservative blue socks, which match my jeans and work shirts. I admit I am most comfortable all in blue, but the colorful new socks have made me a Fashion Icon, a status I did not ever expect to achieve in a lifetime.

I know it goes against the cultural grain – we are supposed to dread aging and shrink in it – but I like being an older man (although not so much an OMAR, an Old Man At Risk), I am much better at than I was being young.

My socks have brought color into my life, and even compliments on my fashion sense. Anyway, I like more sedate socks for Sunday. A quiet and peaceful day around here. A time for subtlety.

Maria calls the dogs “the Jon Katz Fan Club,” they are interested in everything I do.
