Comfy is as Comfy Does

I was just getting into my PJs to go settle in for another writing session when I realized that I've had this shirt for… I'm guessing, about 25 years. I have two of them, one red and the other blue for the Chiefs and the Royals. I wear one or the other of them every night. They are getting a little thin around the tummy, but man are they really comfy. I wonder how many things we could buy today that would still be going strong 25 years from now. Technology grows and the quality declines means high costs for all

That is a long time to own a piece of clothing.. I know someone who has some of the same clothes he had over 50 years ago...

Could be worse. At least it's not underwear.

the rate of obsolescence in today's world is astoundingly fast. Clothes, shoes, cars, technology--you name it. The quality does decline. Hooray for you having a 25-year old comfy shirt! have a great evening, Sara

Thanks Sara. I guess I'm not very fashion savvy. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend.
