A Tale of Two Shoes

The Antiques Roadshow,
taped in Eugene, Oregon this past June, will be aired beginning January 23rd, on most Public Broadcasting Stations, and I’ll be one of their blue-shirt
volunteers you see running around in the background. When I received my email
invitation to volunteer I assumed it was SPAM, but OPB
was serious. I’d be fed, given a polo shirt to keep and allowed two items for
appraisal. What a deal! Wear comfortable shoes, they stressed, so I hit the
local Goodwill, where a brand new pair of Keds, a size-and-a-half too large,
beckoned. Once home their white canvas screamed for decoration so this artist
painted Roadshow icons and left space for some autographs, I hoped.
