Ginger, I was reading an article in the Times about testing they'd done on those shape-up or whatever shoes with the uneven sole. Upshot was that they make virtually no difference for fitness/muscle growth, but the one thing they do seem to help a lot with is plantar's and other heel/ankle issues. Might be worth a shot.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Our wings are not tired.
And if that's the case, and Ginger wears a size 8.5-9, I have an almost-new pair that I can send her (the color doesn't go with anything in my wardrobe and I have two other pairs anyway).

I appreciate it, but my feet are bigger.
I have one version of those that don't seem to do much, but that doesn't mean that another type might not help. Of course, the reason I have so many shoes is the vain search for shoes that don't hurt.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Ginger, have you tried Keens? My mom has PF and swears by them.

That means no Border's in Madison at all.
No Border's anywhere anymore. The liquidation sale for all remaining stores begins tomorrow.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So, I'm icing my knee--took my first big fall since I've been back at the rink. Thursday afternoon is kid skate and when we club skaters get there after, the rink can be a little grotty. An adorable tiny pink plastic sequin locked my skate wheel and I slammed down on my knee. I got up and skated again, just to make sure that I could.
I am home icing it. It's gonna have a huge bruise plus I scraped the shit out of it. Am I perverse that I love that no one responds when you fall on the rink, no matter how old or young you are? You are expected to get yourself up and keep on skating if you possibly can. Falling is part of the deal and even though most people practicing are wearing foofy little dresses, they are TOUGH.

I did not realize that! Wow.
Scrappy, it seems to be the culture in skating. I used to have a brown spot on one knee from where I went down once. I think it took 20 years for it to finally fade completely away.

Thrive to spite them
I went to Border's today. Will had to go to NY state for something so he dropped me off at the mall. I wanted to ask when the Liquidation sale started, but that seemed tacky. I'm kind of tempted to go back (partly to escape the hit tomorrow) but I'm pretty sure I won't have any will power. And I don't really need to spend any money.
