Ever since I started dancing salsa, I have problems I never had before. Like, what's a good snack at 2:00 am? Where can I get grape flavored G2 (lighter version of Gatorade) on sale? And, where do I store my salsa shoes?

I've developed quite a collection of salsa shoes. I'm really hard on my shoes and I dance four days a week. While many pairs don't look or smell that attractive, they are still worth keeping. My Shoe Repairman told me not to keep shoes in my car because the heat melts the glue and allows them to wear out faster. I can't keep them in my closet because there of that olfactory quality that I would prefer not to expose to my clothes.

I have an old milk box built into my hallway that's become my unofficial Salsa Shoe Closet.

Just for today, I can deal with salsa shoes.
