Sunday wrap-up

[mdlbear]

Went to Santana Row (the local very upscale shopping center) with the flower_cat and chaoswolf for their "first annual Pear Festival". No big deal -- basically just a couple of craft booths added to their usual Sunday farmer's market. Had a good lunch, though. Did a little window shopping, and some actual shopping in Borders. Not too fond of chain bookstores, but it's the one that's there. The Cat got a couple of cookbooks for the Wolfling, and I picked up a copy of The Children of Hurin, which for some reason I never got around to buying when it came out.

After that we swapped daughters and went to Sports Basement to see whether we could fit the two of them in shoes. Got a pair of New Balance for the Y.D.; the Cat's feet (high-arched, extra wide, and somewhat swollen) proved impossible to fit. But she's promised to look for shoes with real arch support -- I think it'll help with her knee, hip, and back problems. I got yet another pair of Superfeet arch supports, so now I have them for all three of the shoes I wear on a regular basis.

Unlike my first pair of Superfeet a couple of years ago, I don't seem to have had any trouble getting used to these.
