Hi Lynda, Isn't it funny what one person notices and another does not! It's true, the lack of pockets won't stop anyone from exploring, but another female bane, violence at night, has certainly curtailed my activities. Take Back the Night!
I actually read this as I was wondering which jacket to wear for tonight's event, and the one I chose is not the one that my wife would like me to wear for looks, but rather the one that has the most pockets for practical reasons. Perfect timing. Thank you.
You wrote about something close to my heart! (Unfortunately- not always a pocket) I really related to the disappointment of finding out a pocket was stitched down and to finding surprises in real pockets. Also jealous of men with their free swinging arms.. Big smile Miss Hiller!
Pockets are so nifty...but I do enjoy having some sort of purse/small bag/fanny pack situation. Whenever I do have pockets and I put things in them, I always feel like I'm going to lose something.
Your observation about men’s clothing having more pockets than women’s has never crossed my mind.
So I appreciate your novel ideas!
The freedom to stroll about the universe--arms free--is indeed precious.
The lack of pockets would never stop me from exploring the world.
Excellent writing.
Thanks, Joe!

I will be noticing your jacket tonight, Francis!
Love this! The history of women's pockets may interest you.

I meant to thank you for this long ago!
Thanks so much, Joy! I look forward to a deeper exploration of pockets!

That's because women's pockets are so small!
Haha very true. If they were larger, it would perhaps feel more secure :)
Yet another fun look at life we've noted but not thought in depth about. That was fun, Cathy. Keep um coming...hugs...t
