I got an unexpected box from my godsons in San Diego and these were inside:

I don't care how old I get, I will never be too old for these, and would rock the hell out of them if I weren't afraid of getting them dirty, even slightly. Plus I would feel like Ted Lasso with these on.



1) would you wear these kicks? if not, why?



2) did you get anything Metly this year?

I got two helpings of Cleon.

The A.S. Young book (from 1970) was advertised as Very Good, which was probably wishful thinking, but it's Good+ and it's hard to find a copy with an intact dust jacket and this one had it, so I'm very excited.



First edition/first printing, which is nice, but it's probably the only printing.

Our neighbors came by today with a belated Welcome to the Neighborhood holiday fruit basket. A Mets potholder was affixed to it.



That, plus, as per usual, Fmom gifted us two ten packs of Syracuse Mets ticket vouches for the 2023 season, which should carry us well into the summer.

I'm not wearing two shoes with different shoelaces, cause that looks dopey. Otherwise, they look sharp to me.

Two different, complementary color shoelaces is a smart, sporty look, kids. Don't listen to Fman. Not this time.
