Holes in my socks...

Ever notice that sometimes, when there's stuff afoot in your life -- like friends in crisis, or work issues coming to light -- you want to pay attention to little things instead?

For instance... today I discovered that a pair of new sock -- worn only twice before -- have holes in both the toes. Both!

Upsetting news indeed. I blame the weird angle of my big toes, which were obviously intended for jester shoes, or something. Toes are not supposed to curve up. (Not that I have freakish feet, or anything. Just a small idiosyncrasy.) They are not suppose to rip through practically new socks.

And if I didn't know better, I'd swear my toes did it on purpose...
