    I thought it was to teach me how to tie, buckle, zip, and snap. I call them my Fisher-Price Do-And-Learn Action Boots.

    Actually, I had a visceral reaction to trying them on, so I had to buy them.

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    They are "Double H." I found some for sale at Age2Shop.com, though I bought mine several years ago at a mall store.

    Way too many things for a Marine to try and remember each morning....

    Too many hours wasted each day in re-training how to put on boots!
