Shoe Story

Remembered: Running shoes and socks, shorts, shirt, Gatorade, GU, suntan lotion, sunglasses, stupid walkman in lieu of broken iPod, change of clothes for post-run weightlifting, another change of work clothes for visit to client's office.

Forgot: Matching pair of black shoes.

Choices: Drive home and look for match, go to next-door mall and buy long overdue pair of new shoes, play cards as they lie.

Decision: Wear them — no one will notice.

Result: Some people (i.e., women) are surprisingly observant about shoes.

Lesson: Turn on closet light when packing bag for day.
