Brain Shrink, Think.

So, I thought I would update the progress of my transition to the Vibram Five fingers (My first post: http://musingtothink.blogspot.com/2010/07/running-shoe-less_14.html). It has been 5 (going on 6) months now, and I can't really say I miss "regular" shoes. I wear my dress shoes to work (because I have to), and occasionally converses for when I go out, but other than that the five fingers I wear work perfectly fine.

Over the past two years we have gotten a taste of how Obama views politics, how he works, and what his White house does to get the job done. Was all that "Hopey, Changey stuff" stuff,
