Hello, old friends, I’ve missed you
October 11, 2007 | D.C.,Shoes,Traveling,Weather
Had I known a heat wave would follow me to D.C., I’d have taken you instead of my wool sweater and turtlenecks. This was not just any old heat wave. It was a week of record-high temperatures — oh, say, 90-something degrees — that started the minute I landed at the airport and ended the minute my departing plane left the ground. I think I even heard on the radio, “… we will have hellishly hot weather this week, and we expect a cold front to move in when — and only when — Becky leaves town.”
But back to you, dear sandals. I have three sets of blisters all over my feet from each of the three pairs of other shoes I took with me. Yes, even my tennis shoes. Maybe they’re just mad at me for not wearing them unless I leave the state. Whatever the case, my feet have never been happier to see you.

Please come back! It’s freezing here!

Autumn definitely arrived after your plane departed. You should come and see us again in January, when we need another heat wave.

Seriously! I’m in long sleeves and jeans.

I’m wearing flannel pajamas. Can I say that here?
