Time for me to go shopping.
The American Family Institute announced a boycott of Gap, Inc, including Old Navy and Banana Republic because they refuse to bend over and accept their demands on the use of "christmas."

I hate shopping, and rarely go myself. My last pair of shoes I bough online from London, (Cheaney - great shoes, too, great construction, incredible comfort), same as the last dress shirts I got. Can't recall the last time I went out to a "store" to buy clothes. Then again, I haven't needed any that the gap companies have to offer. But I am making an exception, and will spend some money on Gap.

Just because.

1. keep in mind that you won't find anything of lasting quality...
...at those stores. Nothing like your English shoes.

3. don't I know it.
Having shuffled with cheap dress and gym shoes most of my life, I never realized just how good a great pair could be.
