I received an email the other day complimenting my website:
I was so impressed by the comprehensive amount of content you have created since your site launched in 2004.
He went on to explain that he is working with a boot retailer that has been around for some 40 years, but just went on-line for retail sales.
The writer of this email is with a small-time Texas-based web development and marketing company.
He began cordially, and we exchanged a couple emails, then…

I like wearing Tecovas cowboy-style boots. They are comfortable and well-made.
Usually when Tecovas launches a new boot, their savvy marketing people produce and publish appealing photos all over the internet.
But when the company introduced a chelsea-style of boot recently, I…

I know I have been unusually quiet on this blog. It’s already the first of September and I realized that I have not written a post for this blog since two weeks ago on my 2020-birthday-from-hell.
Yeah, the day downgraded rapidly, and kept me…

Yay… I’ve circled the sun one more time as of today. Best yet: Spouse baked me my favorite cake!
But today is about the most weird non-birthday I will ever have.
There are two reasons for that…

I was introduced to Southwest Boot Company by a reader who wrote to me a couple months ago to ask for my opinion about this company and their boots.

Today, I write about their “FFB” series of station boots — a favorite boot style of mine. (more after the jump)

I can’t believe it is August 1 (date of this post.) I regret it has been two weeks since I last posted here. There is one main reason…

I received an email the other day from a regular reader who wrote:
I was wondering if you could write about a healthy marriage, specifically a healthy gay marriage. Gay men are getting married at record rates now but we don’t really have “elders” like our parents did to guide us. Also, are there any particular things to be mindful about when only one partner is into fetish and leather?
Hmmm… Great Question! Thanks.
I have some thoughts about this matter…

Again, I am finding myself apologizing for not keeping up with this blog. One may think that since I retired and am pretty much staying home to reduce exposure to the Covid-19 virus, I would have more time to write on this blog.
One would think…. however, my days lately have been consumed with…

I realize that I have not posted much on this blog. There are some things going on at home about which I would rather not disclose that have returned me to being a caregiver.
Things are not *that bad*, but nonetheless concerning.
It has also been darned hot, classic for the Maryland ‘burbs of DC this time of year.
Spouse and I had planned…

Someone wrote to me recently to ask,
I live in California. Why am I unable to order python boots from Tecovas?”
Well, your state’s legislature …
