But I ENJOY your long winded-ness (particularly in stories from Upstate NY – my homeland as well), AND your insights about shoes, et al. (They sell platform sneakers over here too. And little cloth sneakers that feel like they have 10 extra pounds of rubber on the soles. I know I’m no fashion maven, but I really REALLY miss little suede boots (does that show me up as a child of the 80’s?)) Anyway – thanks for all the left handed recommendations – no slap up side the head needed (this time – LOL!)
