Geez, Mathias, did you really have to share this? :) But trust me, I know the feeling. It's not just b/c of the weather that I'm wearing skirts to work this summer.

Rather than just change my pants, I wanted to wear these favorites and be injury-free on my post-beer drinking bathroom runs at the Dome.

By the way, I have a Nordic Trac that works awesome as an indoor clothes line -- especially since that pair of pants I mentioned are linen and can't be put in the dryer.
