Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
According to the Road Runner Sports website (in a popup, so I can't link), Stability shoes are for average arch, Neutral shoes are for high arch, and Motion Control are for low arch.
I overpronate horribly and have extra-flexible ankles (I've had a few times when I've stumbled over something and my foot ended up bent far enough that the inside of my ankle scraped the ground), so I always need to buy the shoes at the far end of the motion-control line.

Dear me. I want to photobomb.
And nap.
I have snuck into a conference call. I just want to listen. I don't want to admit to anyone that I'm here.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Photobomb is hysterical! I wonder if any had been photoshopped.

My faves are the ones with a look of horror directed at the photo subjects.

Did anyone else read the NYT article yesterday about the utility of intelligence? The smarter fruit flies had a shorter life? There's an interesting op ed piece about Cost of Smarts.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
