Just last night I had a crazy dream that I absolutely have to share with you…
For some reason, I was in a hardware store where a friend of mine had (foolishly) left to the cash position a pair of my jeans (my 634sr, now very rare. Don't know way he did something so thoughtless, but you know, dream-logic...).
The clerk tells me lost them!
At the time I was in disbelief, then began to mount in me in a devastating rage. I started to disassemble the store piece by piece.
At one point jumps out a package with a pair of jeans inside. They was not my 634sr, but a couple of dime pre-distressed stupid Levi's! One of those "Engineered" models they launched back in the late '90. I was desperate, but all of the sudden, in the back pocket of those Levi's I found the the true owner's I.D. and stuff!
"Ah!", I said to the clerk "good try, but these are not mine!".
So I continued to disassemble the store, spreading on the ground all the goods exhibited…
Then I woke up.
The memory of the dream was still alive in me later, when, checking the mail, I found a message from G. who informed me of the availability of IHSH-78 ... -
I know what you mean Mega. It's 55 degrees now and tomorrow we are supposed to get 4-8" of snow.

Apparently the "NO SOLICITING" sign on top of my "DOG ON PREMISES" sign isn't enough of a clue…I think I need a "SOLICITORS WILL BE FED TO DOG" sign
I've found it helpful to answer the door with, "Oh- you're not my parole officer!" while not wearing pants.

I plan to never be caught with a single pair of boots again, my 405's bit the dust and am currently without. I am hating life right now and my feet and knees are killing me wearing my running shoes all day for the last two days.
Let this be a lesson learned to spend an ample amount of money on quality boots as well, sounds like a good excuse to me at least.

What happened to the Alden's? Are you going to send em back for a repair?

I purchased them in November and noticed that the leather upper has began to rip away from the last by the ball of the toe on the inside of the left shoe and it is progressing very quickly. I spoke with Alden SF, where they were purchased, early Friday afternoon and had told him im in a bit of a jam now as I am completely with out my boots I use for work. The assistant manager told me, though he stated it is not routine procedure, to send picture to his direct email as this sounded like a major concern. He also stated he would be forwarding a prepaid shipping label as soon as our phone conversation ended. Since then communication has ceased on their end. Ive sent a couple emails again friday night and another saturday asking if they had even recieved the picture and reiterating that i am in a jam so I need to figure something out as soon as possible. I'll try calling monday again I guess.. just kind of have a sick feeling in my stomach over the whole bit thus far though I have been a patron of Alden for some time. the pics in the Alden thread are a bit alarming as well. (this is a very condensed version. the friday conversations are actually quite a long story, after speaking with several people this was the resolution we came to… )

My wife and I like traditional names for children. We have what we call "the Chief Justice test" for names. As in, if it would sound silly in the following, "Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the Chief Justice of the United States, (insert name)", then we won't inflict it on a child.
With that for context, today I was in the grocery store with Caroline and some woman came up to me and said, "Hi, you must be Caroline's father."
"Uh, yes…"
"My son Maverick is in her gymnastics class."It took every ounce of self control I possess to keep from asking if she has another son named Goose.
Maverick?
Seriously? -
Believe me, I'm not going to be pushing them to be lawyers. I want them to do something productive and respectable, like selling "Rollexx" watches on a Manhattan street corner.
All I'm saying is that if you name your daughter Destyniee, you can cash in that college fund and sign her up for pole dancing classes…

I can't remember where, but I read an interesting piece on the topic of names as destiny. Could have been in Freakonomics or somewhere like that.
Having grown up with a 'girl's name', Lorrie, I get really frustrated with parents who name their child something unusual. Especially when the parents have normal names. Friends Mike and Sandie have named their children, Cedar (boy) and Magnolia. Hard to keep my mouth shut.
I still get stick for my name. Recently a taxi driver said to me, Isn't that a girl's name? Yes, I almost punched him in the back of the head. Instead I growled at him and he STFU.
