Sounds like a "duh", but in fact after moving into the crash pad last weekend it has become pretty obvious. Even spending 4-5 nights a week there doesn't make it home, more of an extended stay hotel.
It is convenient though in that everything is only a few steps away...other then taking Dusty out, which is four flights down.

Thats a Croc of ....oh they do feel good!
I have been one of "those" people who have made quiet fun of grown-ups that wore Crocs. Well maybe not that quiet ask Marlys. Crocs being those new-age earth shoes straight from some folks (at least originally) in Boulder, Colorado (where else). This article in Slate captured well my state of mind concerning these "things" (http://www.slate.com/id/2170301/nav/tap1/).
Imagine my surprise when I saw the leader of the free world wearing a pair! Now GW had not gone all the way by wearing ones in lime green , but understated black.
So they must be OK, right?
Now you need to understand I have been a wearer of clogs (Scandinavian influence of living in Duluth, MN) , another niche footwear, since the late 70's, but never, ever in public.
My current set of Simple's are becoming long in the tooth and I have been on the look out for another pair of house/yard easy-on, easy-off shoes.
Friday evening while walking through the local mall I made a major error in judgement...I tried a pair on.
These were not ordinary Crocs the size of small snowshoes, but the Croc Off-Road's (arrgh, more power). These are so big and light I should be able to walk across swamps (Croc Pun). They even have Velcro to snug them down when extra support is needed for off-road control.
They do feel good.
