A New Thing: The "Quick Hit"

Hello Dear Reader,

I’d like to introduce you to something new. I suppose it’s nothing new in the greater “blogosphere,” but it’s new to me, and I suppose that’s all that should matter to you: The Quick Hit.

You see, there are times through the week when I think, “I should blog about that because it’s so (insert adjective here)!” Then I either forget it, or maybe I just realize there’s no way I could fill out a whole post about it.

That’s where my new “Quick Hits” segment comes into play. I know…you are probably thinking “Crap on a stick, I have to deal with more of this guy’s dumb shoe posts?”

The answer to that, my dear friends, is: “Yes we can!”

So, keep an eye out for these useless nuggets of wisdom. They will be like that random French fry you find in your Chicken Nuggets—a special morsel that is to be treasured and bragged about. May you be so lucky that you will find one of these random “French Fries” in your week!

Quick Hits: Showing Our Age

I live in denial. In this case, I want to deny that 9 year old shoes need to be replaced. The joke’s on me though, because two days ago it was raining. Hard.

I found, much to my dismay, that my left shoe had a hole in it. I shouldn’t have been surprised though. Based on the above picture, I’d expect them to last me another 9 years. The below picture seems to suggest otherwise:

Wet socks have a way of ruining my day. So does the realization that I have to buy new shoes. I hate shoe shopping.  

If you want to take care of it for me, my shoe size is 11. I'll pay you back, because I think that shoe shopping is A (terrible) Reason to Put on My Shoes.
