When I worked at a bookstore in Pasadena I was alarmed to find a woman badly dressed in a trenchcoat and white sneakers (as in ‘sneakers’ like my grandpa would wear) walk in out of nowhere and start signing books.

Turns out it was Danielle Stelle and she was in the area and decided to autograph a few of her books.

Somebody said she just did that from time to time.

Sometimes I just want to cry. Now is one of those times.

Let us find you another pair of those shoes! Give me a longer description and I’ll hunt them down. This is one of the very few things I’m good at!

I don’t understand what you can do to 1/4 yard of ANYTHING to make it worth $1400. I have machined precision aircraft parts down to the thousandth of an inch for much, much less.

My shoes are full of meaning. Comfy, comfy meaning. My favorite all-time shoes were these cheap-ass kid’s Chinese hiking boots. On sale, they were 2 pair for $30. They felt like clouds and had these grippy soles that really made hiking fun. They wore out in about 3 months but hey, $15 – no great loss. If I could find those again, I would weep with happiness. And start hiking again.
