My workplace will be taking money off of my paycheck slowly for the next few months (!!!) because they screwed up and didn't take off money for my vacation that I took in August. Good thing I had money saved, otherwise I'd be screwed. This year I am trying to pay for school without getting a loan. I still got a bursary (should be coming this month), but otherwise it's just me. It's been OK so far.

yesterday we attended an afternoon tea given my one of our clients to announce changes in the company. It took place in the beautiful house of the company president, the last residential commission ever designed by Louis Kahn. Our client's father, who had hired Kahn to design it in the early 70s, told us about the last dinner he ever had with Lou, when Lou sat for hours and Lou told his wife just how much he loved her and how much she meant to him, despite his extramarital affairs and children born out of wedlock, and how after Lou died, she wrote and said just how much that evening had meant to her.
Our client gave a touching speech and dissolved into tears as he described the mentorship of his father... I choked up a bit and thought of my own father, who died about 14 years ago. And then he told my wife and I how important we are to him and that without us they were "just bricks and mortar" and then he gave us a Mac Airbook.
- Awesome!canuck
- louis kahn was a bigamist wasn't he, or as close to it as a nonmormon gets? he died in an airport.********
- who gets the airbook?********
- sorry, in penn station, and was polygamist.

"What to look for- Bench made shoes aren't cheap, but neither is buying a pair of crappy shoes every six months and looking like a slob with no taste, so expect to spend $400 +. Great English shoes are usually found in Northampton, with brands like Church, Cheaney, Barker, Trickers, Edward Green, Crockett & Jones, Peal & Co., George Cleverley and Alfred Sargeant all making good stuff. If you find cordovan and you can afford it, either buy it or call me and tell me where. Cordovan is leather from a horse's arse, and it is as tough as, well, a horse's arse. Good Year welting is usually marked as so, but if in doubt, look for the row of stitching running around the welt."
- You learn something new everyday. Bench made shoes. Go figure.canuck

^ The appearance of stitching is not enough to garantee its a welted sole... look also for a 'ply' effect on the edge of the sole where the upper meets a gasket, and underlay and then the sole unit. If its a traditional formal shoe welt the stitching will be evident in a recessed channel around the edge of the sole leather, if its a more contemporary welt this may be covered by an additional skin that is welded to the sole.
Beware of cup soles that have been molded with real stiching in them!
