heritage

I went to lunch with a friend. We were wearing the same sneakers.
    When I went to get the sneakers, I looked inside them.
    "Heritage?" I asked the salesman."What does that mean?"
     He smirked.
     "Old," we said simultaneously.
     My friend, 81, said she got black laces because she thought they looked less old ladyish. At 61, I am thinking of detailing mine with permanent marker.

    Not that amazing—very few in wide sizes that can accommodate bunions!

    O.K. I think this is a set up.

    In the 35 years I have known you, I have NEVER seen you wear sneakers.

    Are you planning to be the new spokesperson for whatever-brand-it-is??

    Why do the sneakers have light blue 'Y's on them? Do they make you question the reason for your journey?

    Sneakers are one thing -- but not wearing jeans? I'm speechless.

    Yeah, those are nylon sports pants, left at HHH by some tenant's kid. . .
    They have like a football insignia or something on them.
