Why No Red Wing Boots?
I noticed that some online style forum linked to the motorcycle boots collection on my website about a week ago. When I see links from online forums to my website, I track back to the originating site to see what is being said.
The original person posting on that forum noted how helpful…

Where Is Your Bike?
I had a busy but uneventful weekend, 500-mile round-trip once again to da ‘Burgh. My mother-in-law is doing well; in fact, much better than we had hoped. Her nutrition and hydration have improved with having a caregiver with her for several hours each day.

I am grateful, tired, sore, but smiling huge, because…

Boot Retailer’s Reputation: Unethical
I regret to learn that a boot retailer from which I have purchased many pairs of boots has behaved unethically, and after giving them a chance to explain themselves and not receiving any response or acknowledgment, I breathe a deep sigh and now have to pursue a copyright infringement claim against them. This situation is quite regrettable.

Blog Post 2300
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. What posts have been most viewed and popular? Care to guess?
