To celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Monday, I purchased a new pair of boots on Sunday (far right in the picture above).

Now, the category of shopping isn’t really a normal thing here at things places etc, but this one is notable.

When I am not wearing boots, I am weeping about how I cannot find boots to fit my calves. I have, inherited from my mother, the typical Asian radish legs. This isn’t even a joke anymore. I own a total of 5 pairs of calf-covering/semi-calf-covering footwear. (The galoshes shown above in the far left doesn’t really even count, it is just there to give some contrast to the photograph.)

The next time you see me in my new boots, please don’t try to steal the thunder from me.
