Someone stole my shoes out of the locker room at the gym while I was working out. What kind of cretinous miscreant makes off with someone else's footwear?It's not as if they were particularly nice shoes or anything-they were cheap little black canvas jobbies that I purchased at Wal-Mart four years ago and had worn the heck out of. They had ripped laces and the left shoe had a hole in the toe.

But I loved them.They were carefree and casual and comfy and they went with everything.

Go in peace, shoes. I only hope that wherever they are, they are in good hands. Or on good feet.
