new shoes

It's four hours before
it's time to leave for
F and K's
wedding reception.

J informs me
that my black dress shoes
are -- well --
ugly.

So I ask K.

Very diplomatically,
she says,
"They'll be fine
if you wear them
with black tights
so they don't really show."

So I make a quick trip
to Famous Footwear.

I guess I'm just
getting old.

Everything I find
is either too high,
or too uncomfortable...
or too high.

I finally find these.
Me and my new black shoes
are on our way!

Wish us luck!
