Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.

About ten years back I found a pair of running shoes that were just perfect. I have owned many similar pairs during my running career. The running companies in the search to reduce costs, discontinue running shoes for a newer model.

And I haven’t found a pair I like since.

I do have a pair of slippers I am attached to. There is a little shop in Mainz that carries them. I reach for these slippers first thing in the morning much like a habitual cigarette smoker. They take me to work and to my office. And for some reason I am not wearing them today. I miss them.

The German word for slipper is Hausschuhe, which means house shoe. I just ran upstairs and retrieved my Hausschuhue and all is right with the world.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
