[blparent] sock it

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

There are a lot of cool socks out there, but marking them takes more effort 
than I want to expend, so I wear white.  Except around the house, I have 
socks with big stuffed penguins on the toes, which I wear because Sarah asks 
me to and she thinks they're awesome.  Besides, they're warm and my feet are 
always frozen, even in the summer.
