I’m in my robe and slippers. No pants. At least till I shower and dress. So I’ll celebrate half of no pants day. Best I can do. ---

See! People are always ragging on Texas for our stupid politicians. How come nobody ever talks about the good things to come out of Texas - like No Pants Day? ---

Fortunately, on Casual Fridays I usually come to work in a bandolier of rifle bullets, porkpie hat, and penis sheath. So I’m good. ---
