Gillies
For people who are either not Irish dancers or new to Irish dancing or (possibly) just needing more information about the shoes, I'm going to ramble about the soft shoes today ( Read more... ) -
sad day
So I've been working on my next post on my iPhone. It was a fairly long post, but it was just sitting on my app, waiting for me to finish. Until today, when I carelessly hit update all on the App Store updates. And LiveJounal updated over my unsaved blog. So hopefully it wasn't the greatest work of all time and that I can recreate it faithfully ( Read more... ) -
My depression
I know that this is currently the nine-days-wonder because we lost Robin Williams. But it's helped me realize that I'm not helping the problem by not talking about my own ( Read more... ) -
Arches
The arch of the foot is such an interesting feature. Some are high, some are low, some are extra-thin, some are very muscular, and most are a combination of factors.
I remember when my sister was in college. We had just been switched from the Army Medical Center to a private practice by our insurance. She was having pain in her foot and went to see ( Read more... ) -
Bunions
Making sure that my "shop elves" know everything about feet can be tricky, mainly because there's just so much to know.

At any place in the Roman Empire where three roads met, they would post ( Read more... ) -
Why Hello There

What a lovely little blog I haven't used in quite some time. I don't know what I'll write here, but I feel that I should use it for more than reading other people's blogs ( Read more... ) -
Supporting LJ
From a friend's post: "Last week, LJ came under attack and was down for three days. I missed it horribly; I went over to Dreamwidth, but it just wasn't the same. When LJ came up, several of my good friends posted to say how much they missed LJ, but several also posted to wonder whether this wasn't really the end for LJ, whether they wouldn't just ( Read more... ) -
I will drive 100 miles
So Travis is planning on riding the "century" at the Elephant Rock bike ride in two weeks. he wanted to see what the layout of the roads, so we wrote down what the route would be and drove down to Castle Rock (about a half-hour south of Denver). There he got on his bike and I went to the first of several pre-determined stopping points (with the ( Read more... )
