Like it's 1989 again, part 1

So I bought some jeans last week. Whoopee, right? Well, I'm getting more joy from these particular jeans than from anything I've bought lately. They are Levi's 501s, and the last time I wore a pair I was twentysomething instead of thirtysomething. Early twentysomething.

They're not the same kind of 501s I had "back in the day." They're "preshrunk," which means I don't have to do the math of inseam plus 3 inches (or is it 4) and waist plus 2 inches (or is it 3). The amazing thing is that they were only $24.99, which is about what I paid "back in the day."

My only regret is that they're not smaller. … But my ass is my ass.
