Couples at the fair

At the book fair, they came in pairs. The author was a young New Yorker, colored button down shirt, jeans, a canvas version of boat shoes, dark curly hair and glasses. He was introduced by a book reviewer for the WPost, also in a button down short - blue, jeans, and real leather boat shoes; curly hair - gray - and glasses. The scientist/author wore an open neck neutral shirt, khakis, sport jacket; as did the presenter who introduced him, another reviewer. They both wore leather shoes with good support. Thank goodness for the fellow in the audience. He wore navy shorts with a shirt and jacket, the corduroy kind with patches on the elbows. Balding with glasses, he sported knee high maroon socks with white pirate skull heads and sandals. Hurrah for us! The readers! The real entertainment!
