[QUOTE="DAL, post: 464653, member: 1654"] I mentioned how therapeutic and nostalgic it felt to polish up my leather footwear to a good friend of mine. He's about 15 years my junior. (Saddly, he isn't a piper.) His reaction was one of amusement. When asked what tickled him about it, he replied it was how my having "Saturday chores" reminded him of our age difference. :D Now, about a week later, he reported that after a trip to Walmart, followed by a couple of YouTube searches, he had proudly produced a few pair of nicely shined shoes! Then the remarkable thing. "I dunno. I think my shoes seem happier." It was my turn to be amused. I had to tell him that it wasn't just his imagination. They ARE happier. Just like when your car seems happier after a day at the spa (oil change, wash, vacuum, and wax). Just had to share that. --DAL [/QUOTE]
