Mrs. V.'s obituary and my criminal lack of taste in clothes...

Shirley Vanderlinde's obituary appeared in the Press-Enterprise today. I was planning on linking to the online listing, but I can't find it. Odd, too, since I was able to find other obituaries from today's paper but not Shirley's.

I've never been a poster boy for fashion, but there was a second today during which I thought my lack of fashion sense was going to get me kicked out of the local library. I was on the second floor of Riverside's Main Branch Library, looking at the DVD racks, when the security guard came up to me.

Security Guard: "I'm sorry, sir, but you can't wear those shorts in here."

Me: "Huh?"

Security Guard: "Yeah. One of your students told me to tell you that."

Me: "Whew!"

One of my seniors from last year works at the library, saw me before I saw her, and put the security guard up to it. As I told her once I found her, my attire could have been much worse--I often wore these shorts to RCC on show nights for "Wit" with black socks (my "German tourist" look, as the director called it).
