what's old is new

I bought a pair of Dr. Martens boots in 1996. They were my main shoes for several years, but as they got older, I wore them less and less. This winter, I was inspired to see if a local shoe repairman(woman) would be willing to resole them. Well, Jill took them to a Russian guy, and he did the job. Good as 12 year old shoes can be!

When I got home from work today, this was adding some mood to our living room. Jill also bought 'The Essential Billy Joel' today.

Someone tell me the date again!
