Over the winter I'd realized the woeful state of my underwear drawer, and went out to buy some replacements.
Either I under-estimated the spread of my backside or over-estimated the stretch in modern fibers, because my newly-acquired pantaloons just were NOT up to the challenge.
Today laundry day coincided with weigh-in day and I decided to check my progress. . .
I still have one pair of holdouts, but the rest are sittin' pretty!
