Funny how things change as time goes on. It's liberating, actually. One Christmas I decided I would put heels on to go to church. I ended up walking out of the church barefoot. My feet hurt so bad. Another time, same thing only took them off in the restaurant. I was on a date. :')

Ally - . No one at the university paid any attention to my footwear because sensible shoes are the norm. One of the neat things about the professoriate is that we are allowed, in fact sometimes expected, to be a tad eccentric. My daughter and the other people in the microbiology research building where she works are fascinated because their new boss is a woman who wears high fashion stilettos. They can't get over the fact that this woman dresses to the nines and never looks like one would expect a science "geek" or "nerd" to look. They take pictures of her shoes and post them on Facebook everyday. My sensible shoes were not worthy of note. So what looks like a unique sense of style in one environment is less than remarkable in another.
But they do make me miss my dogs. No more hiking though the woods.
