My week in a nutshoe

23 November 2006, 0242 EST

Despite the many important global developments of the last few weeks, I haven’t been blogging much lately. Nor have I accomplished a great deal of the last substantive rewrite I need to do for my book manuscript.

Today, I hope, marked the culmination of my increasing lack of focus.

Yes, I did wear these shoes all day. I discovered them when my daughter wanted to walk on my shoes and pointed out that “you’re wearing this shoe on this foot, and that shoe on that foot!”

Happy Thanksgiving to our American readers!
