I just loved those! And I was a devotee of "Earth" shoes too. Why the hell was I so obsessed about ugly uncomfortable shoes? I was just the victim of 70's fads, I guess. And they were so groovy!

We were quite thankful to get the Trader Joe’s in Santa Fe. It is the best source for weird European cheeses and cheap wine, not to mention affordable veggie friendly fake meat (for us recovering carnivores). As you know, we are getting a pretty good snow tonight. My mom is supposed to fly in from Fort Wayne tomorrow. We’ll see if she makes it on time.

Basset,

Right. being the only straight male (aside from Basset Jr.) south of the Mason-DIxon Line who actively avoids football, I had no idea who Peter King might be. Thought that was Al Franken. I try to avoid Home Depot but the George Jones liquor store was heaving with humanity after work tonight, as was the upscale beer store a few blocks away. (Here in Tennessee you have to go to a liquor store to get wine or spirits, can't get 'em in a grocery or drugstore as you can in Indiana; beer you can get just about anywhere but not in a liquor store. It's a mystery.) No lifestyle centers quite yet in my neighborhood - the mall two miles from my front door was still on deadmalls.com the last time I looked. Meanwhile, the inlaws aren't gonna make it down from Michigan for Christmas, or for grandson's birthday tomorrow night. Twenty-two inches of snow in one weekend on top of the foot they already had, can't be goin' nowhere in that. Mmmmm, NOW I remember Dr. Scholls. Right.
