Walked to mom's this morning (3 miles roundtrip) as she was having an internet crisis. Her AOL was down. Anyway, I mashed a few buttons, unplugged and replugged some connections and got her "up and running" so to speak. All is well.

As some of you know, I went with Richard to Miami last month. While there, I got the oddest pair of sandals in South Beach. Guess I could walk in them, but probably not very far (although I bet they'd make it to the kitchen for a cold beer or glass of wine though!)

Anyway, the other day I mentioned my "sneakers". When I was a kid (back in the 60's) we called them "sneakers" and you bought them at Sears or Montgomery Wards. Actually, I think mom bought Keds for me. You know, the ones with the rubber trademark on the back of the heel you always picked off. I think it was in the 70's that they became athletic shoes or running shoes. But, they are still and always will be sneakers to me.

This past week, I bought a pair of Adidas and a pair of New Balance "sneakers". Both had impressive price tags and both fit really well, but look at the difference; yikes! The Adidas are a size 10 and the New Balance are a size 10 and a half. Could all this walking be stretching my already loooooong feet?
