Yesterday I was treated to lunch at one of the Cameron Mitchell restaurants in Columbus--very trendy, not much exciting for diabetic vegetarian heart-patients, but their Creole roasted tomato soup was way yummy--and wore my Crocs, since I knew I was going to be sitting down and not needing my regular super-supportive-and-hard-arch-insert shoes.

I was wearing my typical garb of lounge pants, which I have on occasion been told look a lot like chef's pants. As we left the restaurant and headed to the back parking lot, where I had found some of the last parking in the entire lot, we passed a couple of guys in chef's whites grabbing a smoke and wearing loungey-looking pants and... black Crocs, exactly like mine! I felt very trendy indeed, seeing my look echoed in that of workers in a trendy restaurant...

It's very rare that I get to look trendy in anything ever at all.
