Actually, I went into the Shoe Box over on Gurley Street to get really comfortable footgear for Mom, whose entire shoe wardrobe dates back to her fashion days and has proven pretty doggone uncomfortable of late.

But what caught my eye: the sox! Designs galore, from bears, lizards and Pooh to hot peppers, frogs and monkeys. Louder yet than my own beloved
Polartec winter sox.


No, I didn't buy any. Maybe I should have, but the idea didn't occur to me, I was so busy buying Mom the shearling lined moccasins and taking pictures. But I may well go back one of these days. Better make it soon or the fashions will have changed on me.
