I'm a real (well, almost real, faux real, as real as you can be without having gone to high school here) Southerner.
I wear boat shoes.

Turning 30? I don’t feel nervous or self-conscious anymore, I don’t feel scared to have an idea & express it. I'm giddy because it’s a complete transformation. I’ve found my voice

People universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck or something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather. That's not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it.

“Between Austria and Italy, there is a section of the Alps called the Semmering. It is an impossibly steep, very high part of the mountains. They built a train track over these Alps to connect Vienna and Venice. They built these tracks even before there was a train in existence that could make the trip. They built it because they knew some day, the train would come.” – Under The Tuscan Sun

Welcome. I'm glad you're official.
I have several old pair of boat shoes. I think I shall wear them around the house in your honor as an honorary southerner (I might even wear them in a puddle and demonstrate the non-slippage factor of said boat shoes).
I grew up in the northwest & my dad wore them all the time. I have no idea why. It's not a northwest thing. ?! That being said - I love them. Good for you. I want a photo. :) Sperry's?
Mrs. - me too!
Daddio - I know! I remember all your old ones, with the white squiggly soles. Please dig them out and then you, Jess and I can be a little boat shoe crew.
Kathryn - they're not a Southern thing?! :) Down here, they are de rigueur...they're even part of the school uniforms! Yes, Sperry's, and I adore them! I'll post a pic soon. Happy holidays!
