Man, I can hardly believe that this post is the 2,300th post that I have written for this blog. Since January, 2008, I have expressed thoughts, opinions, and shared information about boots, leather, boots, my feelings as a masculine gay man, boots, the joy of being able to marry the man of my heart, boots, my life story, boots, and concerns about caregiving for those I love — especially during my spouse’s three-year horror of dealing with two (or maybe three) simultaneous tick-borne infections.

This blog chronicles my life and its growth and change with age, as well as the relationship with the man who is my better half — the man I have loved and who I live to celebrate for over 21 years. The blog has described my interest and avocation with boots of many styles, shapes, heights, colors, and designs and how I wear them each day and every day for all activities in which I engage — professional job, home, motorcycling, work and construction, and so forth.

The blog on occasion relays stories about how I feel as a gay man.
