88 Words On Walkin' a Mile in Someone Else's Shoes




B efore you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.
-Jack Handey


 


Jack Handey is an old favorite among my family. At Christmas time, when we rent a big house and cram all bazillion of us in it, you will find small groups of us huddled into corners poring over various Jack Handey books, usually with tears in our eyes from laughing so hard. This is where my literary genius comes from.

T his is my super awesome blog about words, writing, fonts, letters, typewriters, paper, envelopes, wax seals, fountain pens, stamps, ink, glitter, the lost art of letter writing, reading, books, grammar, slang, writing, maps, shoes, clothes, Mac stuff, Kindles, Nooks, bookbinding, publishing, fiction, haikus, poetry, short stories, and all things related to my fascination with the English language, and good design.
