Clarks –> Rockports

Thank you, pair of Clarks, that I wore every day for the last year until they turned into soft, archless slippers. You’ve been replaced by sensible and borderline geriatric Rockports. Also, on the first night wearing them out, I stepped in dog doo.

When I’m lucky enough to have Nicole shave my head at her place of employment, I always enjoy a bit of Clubman Talc from the salon’s 400 year old container. It leaves me smelling like a grandpa. Now I can offer myself this same luxury at home.

I’m not sad to be finishing the bottle of Twinlab®’s Vita Quick: the liquid vitamin that tastes like if you vomited burnt toast and orange juice. But it was on sale at Rainbow Grocery.

Since you are reading this, you probably have eyes. But do you have an eye doctor? I do, and she is fantastic. Check out her groovy office:

Nothing says “I’m ok with you using that shoehorn-like device to move my eye out of the socket a little so you can inject something into my optic nerve” [...]
