Whilst taking a trip down memory lane with The Spouse, we were looking at a photo album that I put together of our first of six trips to Australia. That trip was in February-March, 1996. Man, images of us as a couple of leatherdudes at the Sydney Mardi Gras brought back a lot of memories. But what was more interesting and inspiring to me was…

Delayed Valentine’s Night
I mentioned on this blog the other day that my spouse’s battle with toxic effects on his limbic system due to the long-term illness from which he suffered made our Valentine’s Day rather difficult.
The Spouse regretted that, and made up for it by…

Flexible Boot Soles
When having boots made, such as by Wesco — what type of sole is “best”? Should heel lifts and extra midsoles be added? I will speak from my own experience… I have several pairs of custom boots, including some made by Wesco, where I…

Loving Harder
I have mentioned several times on this blog that my spouse still suffers long-term (and probably permanent) life-altering effects from the residual impact that toxins produced by bacteria have had on his body, his brain, and his endocrine system. My spouse was sick for three long years, and now suffers from permanent damage the disease left behind.

Still Head Over Bootheels In Love

With 35 pairs of different kinds of harness boots in my current boot collections, I can understand why visitors to my website may think that I am fond of that style of boot.

More Life Circling
As I struggle with coming up with fresh content for this blog, I am in deep thought about six friends who have died within the past two weeks — one of them a close skydiving buddy, four others who were wonderful people with whom I worked in my past life (previous long-term job), and one very close friend very recently. The most recent death was…

Why Lug Soles on Boots in Winter?
Most of my motorcycle boots and work boots have “big lug” or “mini lug” Vibram soles on them. These soles provide great traction when riding my motorcycle (weather permitting.)
However, these boots have another added bonus when I wear them in winter with dress clothes to the office…

I Am Now The Only One
When my friend WC announced that he crossed over to the dark side and got a sillyphone recently, I began asking myself again, “are you still the only person on the planet without one of those things?”
I observed people at airports, at my meetings, and in restaurants last week and am convinced that…
