The Stash

Ooooh it's just like Christmas. Now why, you ask yourself, is this crazy boy taking pictures of shoes and socks? Well, this is all the stuff I ordered at the weekend (artfully arranged). Everything arrived today and we spent a happy half hour or so trying on various combinations of socks and shoes while Gavin played with the empty boxes. In a weird moment of "role reversal", Nancy had the cheek to ask me why I have so many shoes!!! I have packed all the running socks away in the Montrail box so I know where they are. Have to guard against those socknappers.

The great sourdough experiment has hit a small snag - the "bitch" became contaminated and started smelling like old socks, so out she went. All is not lost though as I started another batch when I noticed she was doing poorly and it seems to be going much better. The "son of the bitch" is still eating well and looks (and smells) a lot healthier. Let's hope that's not famous last words.

I ran with my buddy tonight and we talked about a trip to run the Guadalupe mountains we've been planning for labor day weekend. I hope we get to go because it sounds like a lot of fun. Nancy is looking forward to it too, and we may plan on taking a few days extra and taking in the Davis mountains and the Carlsbad caverns while we're out there.

Wpw-that sounds like a really great trip!
I love the red & gray shoes. My husband owns at least 5 times the shoes I do. ;)

Thanks Leah. Maybe there has been a cosmic shift and guys are now the main purchasers of shoes!!!!
