I just now got some advertising email from eBay with the heading "explore eBay Canada your way" and then it listed the things they thought I might want: cell phones, hockey cards, lingerie, sleeveless dresses, flip flops.

It seems extraordinary to me the way I so little want any of the things on their list. I sometimes fear I am more materialistic than I want to be, when I think of all the things I want¹; but really, there are an extraordinary number of things in this world that I don't want and can't imagine wanting. Which is good, on the whole.²

¹ Which can pretty much be summed up as: books, more books, comics, some DVDs, and travel.

² This being said, I constantly surprise myself with the new things I find to love. Who'd have thought, a year ago, that I'd want - and get - red Converse shoes?

I have a weak ankle, too.

I hate having cold feet, too.

Yes, shoes are very good things.
