The Fashion Calendar

I refuse to believe that I am the only absent-minded traveler out there, but that’s what the clothing stores are telling me. I have a bad habit of losing track of my hat and/or gloves when I’m getting off of a train. I bought a replacement set a few weeks ago, on clearance, at a store with only a few left. Then I promptly lost them. So I gotta go out and find more, but Pattie tells me she hasn’t seen any at the stores. Since we’re in the middle of a significant cold snap, this is something of an issue.

On the up side, the headphones I bought for my MP3 player double as earmuffs. And Amazon is apparently having a winter clearance with a bunch of gloves in stock. I mean, call me crazy, I’d think that when it’s below freezing out, you might have some people inclined to look for warmer hats and gloves, but what do I know?

Not where my hat is, certainly. I can only guess what would happen to my towel.
