More About Sneakers

With all the repairs and renovations going on in our master suite, it looks like I will be getting my own personal shoe closet. The contractor was interested in exactly how many shoes I have, so I had to count. I know I just listed my shoes, but some were left out, and others listed twice.

38 total pairs of shoes. No Imelda Marcos am I. Three live in the garage and two in my car. Three live in their boxes. Need to sell eleven pair, maybe more. That leaves 22 to squeeze into this new closet, including the three boxes. I was thinking about keeping a few pair in my office, if I ever get it organized.

Over the past few years I've sold at least 29 pairs of shoes on Poshmark, and more  on eBay before that. Just took four old pair to Goodwill. That's at least 70 pairs of shoes.

Matthew is ordering an Atlanta Thrashers jersey, so we were texting about that last night. Not sure which one. Sunday he's attending the Athens Rock Lobsters hockey game, with his new girlfriend. I'm giving him a few of my old Thrashers bobbleheads that I can't sell. Today I found his old Thrashers coffee mug out in the garage.   

Thursday: productive but tough day yesterday. Still trying to figure out all the ins and outs of Gmail. Not like my old work email.

Friday morning I spent two hours at the gym, on the treadmill and in the sauna. A 12000 step / six mile day. Two people in the sauna were having a long conversation about cruises. 

Friday afternoon I was tossing lots of stuff into the dumpster, so the garage is a little more open. Still a long way to go.

ALVIN DARK  [SABR Doc] was the first non-Dodger to win Rookie-of-the-Year, in 1948. He was the first National League shortstop to hit twenty home runs in a season more than once, in 1953 (23) & 1954 (20). As a manager, he won pennants with teams in each league: with the Giants in 1962 then across the Bay with Oakland in 1974.
