I am currently only wearing slip-on shoes (see Asides post) but in an effort to promote safety & efficiency I felt obliged to post this for all my friends that go through this drudgery on a daily basis. I mean, has anyone ever calculated the energy lost to reties? It seems to me there is a lot of Facebook, Twitter and general blogging hours lost. How about the chance encounters; meeting “the one” was imminent until you had to bend down to tidy up granny. As it were, you are merely two ships passing in the night. I am not even going to get into the pure aesthetics we have been losing to Ms Granny since she eagerly moved us out of velcro by teaching us “Bunny Ears”, “The Squirrel and the Tree”, and “Loop It and Swoop It”. It is about time we stood up on our own two feet and gave our “trotter cases” the proper aesthetic they deserve, a neater knot.
