My Plethora of Black Shoes

I have lots of shoes…in one colour…for one purpose.  They are not all the same exact style but they represent one thing:  months, year, decades of standing on my feet.  Of course, I usually end up throwing out a pile just because they are so ugly-functional and so worn that there is no soul left (ha.).

It is possible to mistakingly get on a public bus of misfortune and have to patiently wait until someone hands you a transfer (either that or trades you seats).

The school of hard knocks is an accelerated curriculum.

Yeah for Homework!

Got my books today for the second half of my Merkin Lit. class.  I’m such a geek, but it’s pretty exciting.  First up is The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James.  Massive book.  Thank goodness there’s a movie to crib off.  Other books include A Farewell to Arms by Hemmingway, The Grapes of Wrath [...]
