John Y’s Musings from the Middle: I’m soooooo smart

I am soooo smart sometimes….

Why do I say this?

Mostly because I am always looking for clever and cost-saving short cuts in life.

And it is fun when I come up with one.

For example, last month I decided the 5 sportscoats and suit jackets I wear most frequently all had arms thst came down to long on my shirt sleeve and I was going to do something about it. The typical person would go to a tailor or to the store they bought the jackets.

But not me. That is too expensive and time consuming for a guy  like me–who can comes up with ingenious short cuts I simply tried each jacket on and estimated in my mind how much needed to be taken out of each arm. Took me all of 3 minutes.

Then I dropped them off at the cleaners with my  instructions.

And Voila!! Just look at that sleeve now!! It’s not too long anymore, is it?

Ok, maybe a little too short….I know. Ahem. So this week I am taking the 5 jackets and suit jackets to a tailor to have them taken back out to the appropriate length.

Ok. So, maybe I’m not sooo smart after all. But it was fun thinking for a day or two that I really was.
