My Shoes Have Died

This morning as I was running out the door at an ungodly hour, I noticed that my left shoe's front end had torn away. Add to that the hole forming right at the tip of the toe.

When I had a chance to really look at the thing, it appears that the entire front bottom is peeling away from the rest of the shoe.

And to top it all off, the right one is doing the same thing.

I'm just going to toss them. I have two more pairs in the closet that I was only not wearing because they bother my big toe joint a little bit. I'll suck it up as long as I can stand it because I really don't want to buy new shoes right now. I want to go to a concert in November. The shoes can wait.

Ah, yes, the concert. I'm going to buy the tickets tomorrow. His name's Chris Thile. He was the mandolin player for Nickel Creek for a long time and now he's gone solo, and he's going to be just down the street at the Carolina Theatre in November. He is probably the greatest mandolin player alive today.

And I am damn well going to see him.

Here's a link to some of his stuff. The song is Song for A Young Queen.

Now take a listen to that and tell me he's not a total bloody genius.

Ta,
Bec
