Notable Day

Today is a day I’d like to remember for a couple – no, make that a few – reasons.

 

1)      Later today we (my wife and I) will be visiting our “shortlist” of three houses here in Singapore, as we intend on making a final decision within the next 1-2 days.  We’re living through our own little version of HGTV’s “House Hunters International”.  Pretty fun, actually!

2)      It was 7 months ago today that I received the phone call that would change our world forever; my now-current boss called me out of the blue on a December Saturday night at our home in Olive Branch, MS, and asked if I would be interested in coming to work for him in Singapore.  And here I am.  J

3)      This morning I put on the most expensive pair of shoes I have ever owned in my life.  I’m still in a bit of shock as to how much they actually cost – it’s a 3-digit number, and the first digit is a “2” – but they are supposed to be some of the best shoes money can buy.  And I’ve been told that they’ll last me for a very long time (they better).  And I’ve been told that they will be incredibly comfortable (so far so good).  And I’ve been told that they look really good (I think I agree).  And it was not easy finding a pair of Size 12 anything here in Singapore.  They’re made by Loake (http://www.loake.co.uk/Shop/Default.aspx).  I wanted to be sure that I documented this day, so when I eventually have to replace these shoes, I’ll have an idea of how long they lasted…

 

That’s it – just one day out of my life, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to chronicle things like this from time to time…
