Channeling my Inner Clark Kent

kybearfuzzHappy Hump Day everyone! Thank heavens we're at the half-way mark, this week has been SLOW...
As I was getting dressed for work this morning, I looked in the mirror and thought, "I've seen this look somewhere before."
I've not worn this sweater vest for a long time because it used to be a bit tight on me and now seems to fit me much better.
About half-way to work, it dawned on me. I'm dressed like Clark Kent from the old Superboy comic books.
There are worse people to mimic, I suppose. Clark always wore a red sweater, white shirt, and blue pants. Almost exclusively. I suspect that Mrs. Kent must have found a sale on them in Smallville, perhaps at the local Sears & Roebuck (look it up on Wikipedia, you younger folks).
I doubt I'll be dodging any bullets today, but will be dodging requests to do someone else's job. In many ways, it's harder and more dangerous.
