Big dogs

Everyone gets a little bigger with age. Even Michael Jordan was noticeably thicker towards the end of his NBA career. And, sure, men start to grow hair out of their ears and nostrils, too. But do feet grow as well?

I've been bummed to find out that some of my favorite old shoes no longer fit. Is that what happens over time or is it just me? As part of the house-cleaning process, I decided to get rid of a bunch. Some I'll donate, but others are too good to just give away. Luckily, I have a twin brother who can still wear those. Whew.

Yes, every pair of shoes has a story (the ones on the bottom row were all purchased from the stand-alone outlet in front of the old Vans plant on Batavia in the cit of Orange) and I'm sad to see them go but I also feel cleansed. Plus, there's a chance that some of the shoes were a bit stinky.
