NULL SET
It’s when I’m walking that I think of the good ideas that will not pay me and see the bad ones that will; shoes wear out quickly when you operate this way. I don’t know what the alternative is to constant repair, so I keep going back to the same barking men who don’t recognize me at first without my glasses and then tell me I look better without them.
It’s one of the greatest occupational hazards of being young and lithe and alert in New York— the amount of time you must spend getting your shoes re-soled in exchange for all that pedestrian activity. In the summer especially, the number of hours squandered this way can begin to feel like a real, irrecoverable loss.
