Swim suit

[cactuswatcher]

I bought a swim suit (just in case) for Tahoe. It seems like just yesterday, men's swim suits were pretty skimpy. Now they all look like they belong on men... well, my age. I feel silly wearing these bloomers. What's next? Swim suit tops for men again?

Since I know you're a basketball fan, I have to say that today's long basketball shorts look pretty weird, too. But, maybe there is no need to go back to those short gym shorts we boys used to wear.

The only time I ever wore a classic speedo was for a swim class for college. The school provided and required them. I was just as pleased there were no women in the building. Remember when old-fashioned always seemed overly modest?

I was watching some vintage basketball and saw Larry Bird in those old short shorts. It was pretty wierd. But I sometimes wonder with some of the guys today if the shorts (longs?) don't interfere with their playing. I'm a little concerned they might just fall off.

Memphis is interesting. I've seen several young women in slacks or jeans and what in the old days would have been a maternity top--empire waisted and down below their hips, but about as low cut as you can get in public without being arrested. I suppose I've just been behind in fashion in Michigan--they are still wearing belly button bearing fashions.

I suppose I am old--the women's fashions do astonish me.

Not too much. Actually, most players wear compression shorts under the big baggy shorts and it's fine. If find my complete lack of skill to be more of an impediment than my baggy pants.
