I appreciate that.  Follow-up email has asked if a visit to see my boot collection could occur.<\/p>\n<p>My response is, &#8220;sorry, don&#8217;t take it personally, but no.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>I do not have visitors other than family into my home, and family visits are few and far between.  My partner is a very private man and detests (word selected for a reason) having people over.  I will not have visitors when he is not at home. While he trusts me, having &#8220;Bootmen&#8221; come to my home is suggestive of interest in something beyond my boots.  Sorry, ain&#8217;t gonna happen.  It&#8217;s best to avoid anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, while most of my boots are in my Boot Closet, there are others in my bedroom closets and a few other places here and there in my home.  I&#8217;m not going to have someone parade through my house and look in my closets.  While I have nothing to hide, a bedroom is a private space, and I don&#8217;t bring anyone other than my partner into our bedroom.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Nuf said. Thanks for the compliments and your interest.  You can see all of my boots <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/\">on my website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Life is short:  define your limits, and live within the established &#8220;house rules.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From time to time, I receive messages complimenting the size, quality, and variety of boots in my collection.
