Why name my personal blog Regular Shoe?
It's shoe as in shoe leather, or what a good reporter puts in to delve into stories. Hopefully I can put up some blog posts that put my views out there in a meaningful way.
It's shoe as in my personal quest to wear regular shoes, something that's been problematic since my feet went south in 2006 and I had foot surgeries on both. All I want is to wear regular shoes.
And it's an ode to one of my favorite comic strips: the curmudgeonly Shoe created by the late three-time Pulitzer prize-winning cartoonist Jeff McNelly. It's continued by his long-time assistant, Chris Cassatt, his wife, Susie MacNelly and cartoonist Gary Brookins.
