\"\"<\/a>I had a great Sunday. My partner and I woke slowly, snuggled warmly together. We probably cuddled and talked for an hour before I got up, dressed in full leather, and went out to get the Sunday paper. Then I prepared a great Cialda<\/i> brunch (waffles), with all the trimmings. I love to prepare a big Sunday brunch when I can. (Of course, “brunch” for us is about 9am, but that’s really late — for us!)
<\/span>
And yeah, there I am in full leather. Why not? After all, it is “leather weekend” in DC, and I just enjoy wearing it. (And no, that’s not my hair falling in my eyes; it’s a bad angle of the camera, catching something on the wall behind me. My partner isn’t much of a photographer, but he tries.)<\/span>

<\/span>After brunch, I went to the grocery store to buy some stuff we needed for today’s culinary creations, and also to get some things for some elderly friends. I wore my Chippewa Hi-Shine boots, side-laced leather jeans, leather shirt, and my Taylor’s leather cop jacket. No one — none of my elderly friends, no one at the store, not one of the six neighbors and fellow community activists I spoke with — no one nowhere — said a thing about all the leather. They just asked me questions, talked about various community issues, the weather, and so on. No one cares about me being in leather.<\/p>\n

My favorite grocery store staffer asked me if the boots were new, and if I were riding my Harley (not — still too cold!) I saw a guy coming into the store as I was leaving, and we both said about the same time, “nice boots!” I also gave him a very hearty smile as I said that, and he returned the same. But he had two kids in tow, so I don’t think we were going to stop to chat about boots.<\/span>

When I got home, my partner and I spent a quiet afternoon making pasta. Once again, we made cheese ravioli. It’s easy to do, but takes some time. With nothing else on my plate since my civic duties get a week’s break due to the Presidential inauguration, we got busy preparing one of our favorite meals. And it tasted great, too! Yum-ee!<\/p>\n

All-in-all, it was a great day on Sunday. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
