Today as I was getting off my bike, my sandal got caught on the pedal and the strap ripped away from the bottom. I also fell and skinned my knees and hands, but the sandal was a much bigger deal. My little leather sandal has been with me through many good times, and quite a few bad ones too. It went to Southern California many a time, Las Vegas, and the Grand Canyon. It was with me every day for two amazing years of CTY, and almost every day for one not-so-great year of COSMOS. Two whole school years, 4 girlfriends, more almost-girlfriends, two tennis seasons. It accompanied me on countless walks down the path to Platforms from Tucker's house, and sat peacefully on my foot while I enjoyed a cornucopia of Sofias burritos. I once hit a seagull with it.
Right Sandal, I'm sure going to miss you.
