Not much going on down in the Old Pueblo, though some interesting tidbits...

A couple months back I picked up some new shoes by Steve Madden. It was a bit of an impulse, but Becky said that they were good quality (a friend of hers is supposedly a shoe buff). Overall, I like the shoes, but I don't know if the quality is quite what I was looking for. Just today while lacing my shoes, I literally ripped off part of my lace! It seems to be a bit unreal that I possess the strength to rip off a lace, but I guess shit happens. Luckily for me, the lace was long enough that I don't have to find a new green lace.

Luckily for me, they weren't my shoes for squash. Unfortunately, my shoes don't make me a great player (maybe I should buy some Nikes?) While I am much better than I was a couple months ago when I started, I'm amazed what experience can do. After playing this afternoon, a couple of older guys (>50) started a game. I was amazed about their reaction time, if I had played, I would have gotten schooled. This is definitely a sport where experience makes a difference.

And my last comment, an airplane has been circling campus recently with a banner advertising GEICO insurance. Normally this wouldn't elicit any comments, but I've heard a few people commenting about the picture on the banner. Evidently people are not able to differentiate these two faces...

P.S. Picked up Halo 3, it's good, not great, but worth the money
