The Skivvies Blog Celebrates 501

That's a brand of jeans, you know. A formula the Levis company whipped up one day. They went through 500 false starts, pants with one leg longer than the other, pockets sewn inside instead of out, see-through denim, etc., until the scientists finally hit on the right formula, #501.

With just the right denim, the right pockets, the right leg length on both sides, they knew they had it right. A quick rivet to the butt and the thing was ready for the rack. And history. The mighty 501 was born!

We have a similar cause for celebration at the Skivvies blog, as we have raced through 500 false starts -- blog posts -- and now have finally attained perfection, #501. With this one going over 500 now all my blogs are old enough to know better. They've become as comfortable a pair of good pants, something for me to stretch out in and be free.

May all your days be Skivvies days. Mine are, and look, it hasn't hurt me.
