Rethinking "Ugly"

Thanks to MaryAnn and Hannah having a little side-comment fest going about my new Crocs, I've decided to re-evaluate my initial aesthetic judgment. My new mantra is: "A Comfortable Pair of Shoes is a Beautiful Pair of Shoes!"

I spent some of yesterday looking on eBay at Crocs and decided that there are some v-e-r-y clever knockoffs coming out of Hong Kong right now (mine are Made in the U.S.A.). I looked at other colors, and frankly my dear, none of them rocked my world. I even found a pair with teeth and eyes. Bill liked them best of all.

Now THOSE shoes make a statement!

Looking at my humble, Dust-Bowl Brown, New-Best-Friends, they don't look so bad after all. And they feel marvelous!

P.S. Echo is hanging in there. We made it through one more night peacefully.
