Today I am wearing awesome socks. I found out about them by talking to my Mom. Who really never has anything to say about socks, other than that mostly they don't fit well. She was raving about these socks she'd gotten to take to Antarcica, and they were the only socks she'd wanted to wear since. They're the rag wool ones from Lands' End. Well I was on the retail therapy binge last week, and I bought myself a bunch of them. Eight pairs, because I was noticing a lot of my winter socks are on their last winter and they had last years colors on clearance two pairs for $9.50. Which isn't a bad price at all for wool socks.

Anyhow these socks are amazing! they're snug, but not too snug, it's the end of the day and they aren't slipping around. Just fantastic. And they come in a bunch of sizes, which is why both Mom and I think they fit despite the 5 shoe sizes between us.

Antarctica?! Wow, there's a story in there I bet.

I almost applied for a job moving the South Pole market, but that was 10 years ago.

The story is great. Our Mom pretty much gets whatever she wants and our dad hardly asks for anything. So, he saw a deal for ACS society members in the Chemical and Engieering Journal to go on a cruise to Antarctica. He said he wanted to go and she had no room to complain/argue. So they went and it was fantastic.
