OK. I will admit it. I am all about the shoes. For the last few years, I have been wearing Ariat's Aptos all summer. They are the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I bought at least one pair every year, in black and wore them out by the end of the summer. I bought a pair at the end of the summer last year, and went looking for another pair a few weeks ago. Nobody has them any more - they are ALL SOLD OUT. Everywhere - Zappos, Turner's, Sierra Trading Post, Dodds, everybody. They're all gone. I have Googled my heart out, looking for a site that no one knows about that might have them - no luck.

I did end up buying a Mio C310x Portable GPS on Patrick's recommendation. He has one (got it at Fry's on his last trip to the U.S.) and I got a chance to use while we were driving around on Sunday. I had it shipped home with a few other things that wouldn't fit in my suitcase and just opened the box today. I'm going to set it up and then go out for a drive and see how goes.

One other thing, Fry's is actually at 800 Garden Ave N in Renton, WA. And another thing - they don't take American Express, as a fellow MVP found out the hard way.
 

While I was in Seattle for the MVP Summit, I stopped into an Office Depot and checked out their "Task Chairs" and found one that felt really good - it's the Office Depot® Brand Patriot Multifunction Task Chair. I went to a local Office Depot last week and they had it in stock - and it was already assembled - Woot! I'm sitting in it now, typing this post and boy does it feel good.
