At times Señora is such a spendthrift. She is attempting to convince me that I have maximized the utility of this particular pair of Sperry boat shoes.
Puts me in mind of a picture that was most likely put in the trash years ago. I had a t-shirt commemorating Arkansas Razorback basketball that I wore for years when I jogged – in Arkansas. It got to the point that there was no cotton left in the t-shirt. Just the base polyester weave, making it entirely see-through. A picture was taken of me as I very reluctantly placed it ever so gently in the kitchen trash can. I was thinking it still had a few more jogging miles in it.
Truth is I have a couple of other pairs of boat shoes that I purchased as I thought perhaps these were a little tacky to wear most places, nearly as bad as wearing a pair of house shoes to the supermarket. Don’t tell Señora, but I did put them in the trash can today. For some reason it had become almost impossible to keep rocks and dirt out of them.
And so they went.
