It’s baseball season and in the Paulsen House that means two games a night.  Plus, lots and lots of laundry.  Usually a nightly load, which is stuffed full of grass stained and dirt covered uniforms.

Oh, one other item usually finds its way into the heavily bleached and Oxi Clean filled load, my beloved chinos.  Yes, the nightly laundry is an opportunity every 24 hours to clean my favorite pair of work pants.  One problem, the folks at work don’t know this.  For all they know, I either wear one pair of pants too many times between washes or I own five pairs of the same pants.  Wait, or something just as bad, such as washing the same pair over and over and over again daily.  Come to think of it, I should give those poor chinos a rest.

It’s a no win.  I’ve put my chinos into game too often. Time for them to ride the bench a little.  I’m putting the uniforms into the game or in this case, the chemically enhanced water filled washer.
