I found this book on the shelves and spent the entire weekend ensconced in a battered old armchair plowing my way through. My friend ended up gifting it.

I was surprised (being not from the PacNW, but realized that is just how people roll up here). As to jeans on older men. There is a very attractive older gentlemen that always sits in front of me during weekday Mass. He wears jeans, the regular rinse (not the dark, not the light, that in the middle blue that all jeans used to be), they are most likely 501's (they have a "regular cut", nothing new fangled), no holes or fraying. He always wears nice shoes and a nice shirt. He looks very smart to me. I do not think there is an age limit on jeans, just certain styles and/or colors of jeans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-27532216690219374442012-01-06T09:26:12.042-05:002012-01-06T09:26:12.042-05:00O'Hara.
