The end of an era







When I met Andy 6 years ago he always wore khaki shorts, a t-shirt and athletic team jacket, a backwards baseball hat and white socks up to his knees. He'd been doing this for years before I met him and it earned him the nickname "socks" when he was playing baseball at William Woods. He's been dressing like this for a very long time now. Every game it's 3 shirts, 3 pairs of shorts and 2 pairs of knee socks, usually tye-dyed, and a backwards baseball hat.
Thats all about to change, for getting A's in all his firefighter and EMT classes, passing all his certification tests on the first try and partially his birthday he's having "flame socks" tattooed permanently on his lower legs.... So, this is it, the end is near and we will soon never see the tye-dyed socks again.
