And so it comes to this....

I have been informed by my loving, caring wife that My favorite pants have been marked for extermination...Fine, let the games begin... Acquiesce is not an option!, I forbid the destruction of such a nostalgic garment!

The path I have chosen for the present is full of hazards, as all paths are. The cost of my freedom to wear these pants is high, but I am prepared to pay it. And one path I shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission!
