It's a long story.

We used to store all our wardrobe at the studios on a little mezzanine
built when we first produced "The Site" for MSNBC. The mezzanine
started as the executive suite, although it could accomodate no more
than 40 svelte execs. More than that and it would tumble to the ground,
crushing the poor producers beneath.

When we rennovated the studio for ZDTV we gutted the executive offices
and turned the mezzanine into an uneasy cross between storage space and
dressing rooms. I had about 20 feet of wacky shirts stored up there and
two well broken in pairs of Doc Martens, one brown and one black.

Those are my shirts on the right. Late last year the powers that be,
hereinafter referred to as TPTB, decided to completely take over the
space for storage. They told all us to take our clothes home. Now I
don't know about you, but I don't have 20 feet of closet space just
waiting to be filled. After a little fussing TBTB agreed to give me
some space at our offices in the Townsend building (a 10 minute ride
away from the studios).

When moving day arrived I grabbed a few shirts and a pair of shoes so
that I'd have something to wear, then everything else was boxed up and
carried over to Townsend. Unfortunately, the "pair" of shoes I grabbed
were both right feet, one brown one black. But I didn't notice this
because I went to do Regis and then on vacation. By the time I got back
the other pair of left feet had been donated to Goodwill. I hope that
the poor colorblind person with two left feet who purchased my old
shoes enjoys them as much as I did.

Meanwhile, I'm stuck without any footwear. Well I've finally found
their replacements today. Introducing my new TSS shoes!

They're on fire. I also got a pair of black wingtip Tredairs but
they're not as photogenic. They're really big though. They kind of look
like black wingtip clown shoes. Just right for the geek image I want to
project. I'll wear them on Monday.
