How often do you replace your shoes, and do you alternate two pair?

Whoops. And that.

FWIW, I am an addict. Saucony codes are the shit.

I have quite a few pairs. 250 miles and I can feel the difference.

Plus, I use the Hank move when I am traveling. This one poor pair, when I went to London and Paris -- the last run there was the worst of my life. They knew they were being left there.

Inevitability I start feeling “leg tired” as Coltrane says. I check and yes, it is 4 months since I bought them. So I get 4 new.

And the old ones come with on my next travel and are thrown away. Note, this part is simply OCD as they do make me tired legged.

My beloved "Catrin Darcy" and I will be visiting next week from San Francisco back to my NYC.

We will be at wonderful great and bar/restaurant - the Elgin - at 6pm on Weds 3/8.

If anyone wants to stop by to say hello, please do. If only to raise a glass to Flower.

SNM

(and to answer Ted and paraphrase "John Wick", Yeah, i might be back)

Thanks to Hank for letting me know about PLF. I wish I'd followed him on Insta. Life is short.

Do we all get more OCD as we age? Lately I would prefer that the TV volume not be an odd number.

I don’t know how to respond to this. He was one of the funniest, warmest, most original - truly sui generis - people I’ve run into here, or anywhere. He could have been a professional comedy writer or stand up, and a damn good one.

I’d no idea he was battling anything.

The absence of his voice is just… it’s hard to find the superlative. There’s no way to count how many times the man caused laughs out loud (some of the best at my own expense).

The only, and extremely limited, silver lining I see in your post is that he died doing something he loved. He’s not a soul who could leave in a hospital bed, riddled with disease. That wouldn’t, couldn’t happen.

Excellent people shouldn’t go so early. The world has far too few. This is simply horrible. All the love in the world to his family.

I am late to this too. I got to know PLF a bit better in real life since his diagnosis, and I always thought he was funny and wry and upbeat here but man he was even more so in real life.

He was always going to die standing up. The shit he was doing out in the world, on his bike, on his skis, with his camera, in the wild, all while battling the junk inside him was incredible and inspirational - ordinary humans don't do that. The man was just a bright spot in the world.
