Birkenstocks for Christmas

I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year's celebration with your family and friends!!! I worked on Christmas but I got to see my Aunty and Uncle from Kula, Maui as well as my cousin and his family from Oregon on New Year's Day. I am also grateful I got to spend time with the rest of my family New Years Day at my Aunty's in Aina Haina. Before that, my brothers and sister were in search for a Christmas present they could really use. We took my parents to Ward Center after a nice brunch at Grand Cafe in Downtown, Honolulu and ventured into Brookstone. Next, we came upon the famous Birkenstock store and -- wah-lah! Without warning, my mom and dad became instant fans! My mom has a collection of sandals, high heels, flats, slip-ons, slippers, boots and even Crocs. My dad, however, has only owned a pair of blue "Surfah" rubber slippers and a pair of white sneakers. So, when he put his foot on a Birkenstock, we couldn't believe the look on his face! ** Click on the video to see what happened **

I'm with your dad, rubber slipper and sneakers plus a pair of golf shoes and softball shoes.

Nice video, you really are getting into taking videos.

Okay, that does it. When your dad said "soft", I got interested. Gotta check them out.

Remember those old-fashioned kamaboko slippers? The ones so thick that they could protect your feet from the kiawe thorns? Ahhh...

Let me know how they work for you! The good thing about them is they tend to last very long!

Hi Steph, I didn't believe my podiatrist when he said that Birkenstocks were the Cadillacs of foot support. No other casual footware provides the arch support to relive my plantar fasciitis. I have one pair exclusively for indoor use! ;-)

Adam - I can't tell you how many years mine lasted in high school. :)

I try to read
I go to work
I'm laughing with my friends
But I can't stop to keep myself from thinking.

Robin Bhat Posted on Hi Pavan & Kaustubh,Congrats on getting Lata Mangeshkar to share this lteetr with you! A big exclusive, for sure.Two points intrigue me:1 We get to see yet another aspect of KK's multi-faceted talents: But do the sketches mean anything or are they just random (but serious) doodling? Seems to me to be two carefully considered, contrasting drawings.2 More interesting is the date: a request to defer a recording with Kalyanji-Anandji, from November 1967.If recorded, this would have been their first duet. It did not, and the next one came no earlier than in 1970, with kehdo kehdo' in Sachha Jhootha. And after that in 1971, Maryada (chup ke se dil de).So, the recording for November 1967 could have been:a) A mixed song?b) An aborted film/unknown number?c) One of two films above, whose release was much delayed?d) Or, K-A went with someone else instead of Kishore? Regards,Robin
