Sorry about those knees. I told someone the other day I think God
was tired out when he designed knees!

If he is really picky I just don't see a way that is going to give him
more room and make him happy with the looks. I think I'd just spring
for new ones.

If I start letting pant waists out around here it could get ugly. lol
Hope you fund a workable solution.

Juno, DS wears Dockers almost all the time for work. Tomorrow, I'll take a
pair out and examine them to see if I have a suggestion that might help you.
It is midnight, and the poor guy has already gone to his room, and I dare
not disturb him.
