barefoot

andy rooney just said "and of all the things I miss, I don't go barefoot in the summer anymore."

Makes me think about how my childhood doctor - dr. Russell - once told my mom that if my feet had a tendency to be sweaty - then i should just not wear shoes.

so i didn't any chance i got, i'd be barefoot. well into high school, i'd get home, take off my shoes, and walk to my friends houses... barefoot. other mothers would gasp - telling me to go home and put on my shoes. i would just reply "doctors orders".

i miss those simple solutions and explanations. just kind of like a small miss. a random miss. like something i may tell my grandchildren some day.
