shorts story

I think my shorts are smarter than I am.


Yesterday I squeezed in a quick (7 mile) ride before a personnel meeting and evening prayer at church. The distance was perfect, actually, because I was still plenty sore from the 21 miles I rode on Memorial Day. It is amazing that I will work up to 5 times that length by November.

I was happy for little wind, happy for a little sun, happy for a little biking freedom in the middle of a work day. But mostly I was happy for my shorts! Not in my shorts (I know what you're thinking) for my shorts.

Yesterday's ride was my first time wearing my Pearl izumi "UltraSensor Shorts."


They must be really smart shorts because the label claims all these technical advances like "natural silver antimicrobial ions" and "ultra-plush microfiber padding" along with "dual density pad protection." Not to mention the "capillary action" and "hydrophobic fibers."


Seriously, "hydrophobic?" My shorts are afraid of water?



All I know is they are damn comfortable. So I say today, "thanks" to my dear mother who purchased them last Christmas. They wound up under the tree, I am sure, only because they were on the 50% off rack. (Good thing because they are $90 shorts and my cheap self would have never shelled that out for even the most "epic" comfort--that's on the label too). Oh, I guess she's the smart one.

Hey, "Epic friend."

I am "ultra-delighted" to hear about your upcoming "meaningful adventure with natural and momentous perspiration" It will be an "endeavor of utlra-exertion" and I know that your "impassioned campaign" for "monetary assistance" will be "gratifyingly successful."

And your shorts sound like they're "really neat."

My shorts and the Resurrection.
"Really Neat" sums them up perfectly.

Obviously they teach "marketing verbage" in design school. Your vocabulary astounds me.
