White Zombies

It’s been a crazy busy Friday. I’m at my favorite Chinese place near my office waiting for soup.

I decided to wear my White (Sambas) Zombies to work today. I’m pretending they are white loafers, a la Peewee Herman. I don’t actually have ANY loafers, much less white ones, but hey, I can pretend, right?

My little one confused Sambas with Zombies and the name stuck.

Happy Friday!

What’s YOUR favorite pair?

It’s the last night of class, it’s gloriously muggy out and my students are taking a test.

I’m wearing my favorite kicks tonight – Adidas Sambas.  If I were stranded on a paradise island (or, say, trapped alone in an endless abandoned shopping mall), and I could only have one pair of shoes (not sandals or flip-flops – I’m qualifying this as just “shoes”), I’d pick the classic Adidas Samba. They are instantly comfortable, like old friends, and they last through years of abuse.

In fact, I dedicate this post to the Adidas Samba.

[Note: Adidas started making an "originals" line and they squeak like crazy. It's the classic sambas that rule.]

So, dear Shoe Per Diem friends – if YOU were stranded somewhere for an indeterminate period of time, what’s the one pair of shoes you’d want to have with you?

Howdy!

My name is Jim and I make Web sites at a university.  I also teach Web design and coding at a community college. My day started today at 5am. I’m taking a couple of vacation days and needed to clear my desk. It was a great day, but the best part was joining this blog.
