Has the world really changed?

First rainy day,

we’ve had in,

weeks.

Well,

it feels like,

weeks:-)

An ‘up side’ to climate change, I guess? 

I’ve been really,

busy,

good, good busy,

business,

has been brisk,

I’ll probabbly regret saying that and think I’ve jinxed things, if I have a bad day, you know messing with the full moon and all, but, here’s to living dangerously:-)

This has been,

a social butterfly week,

for me,

the expression is not mine, I see myself more as a bumblebee thick in the middle and not terribly aerodynamic:-)

Had dinner out a couple,

of times this week,

lots of social,

lots of conversation,

nice.

I’ve been reading,

my friends manuscript,

and,

I’m coming up to,

one of the most interesting,

of historical events,

the Russian Revolution,

Ten Days That Shook The World,

to use Jack Reed’s phrase.

 

I’ve always been fond,

of Jack Reed,

a romantic,

tragic,

figure,

a politically involved,

writer, journalist,

who went out,

and,

found the story,

rode along Pancho Villa,

in Mexico,

and spent,

the revolution in Russia,

dying too young,

a brilliant,

idealist,

in a time,

of profound change,

and ebulience.

These men and women,

were attempting to change,

the world,

and,

they did,

wonder what Jack, Emma, Prince Kropotkin,

would think,

of the world today,

a return,

to savage capitalism,

coupled with,

conspicuous consumption,

‘Plus ca Change….’

So, that’s what I’ve been thinking,

and,

reading about.

Great Day

It’s a cool,

grayish day,

today.

The weather types,

are calling for a high,

of fourteen,

hardly seems,

possible.

The movie was,

a hoot,

kid’s movie,

but,

a really good,

kid’s movie.

The 3D is fun, too.

My nephew,

enjoyed,

having an adult,

all to himself,

that doesn’t happen,

often,

when you have,

two brothers,

and a sister:-)

When his mother,

asked him,

how it was,

he said,

quiet.

When I heard this,

I thought,

maybe he didn’t have,

a great time,

turns out,

quiet is,

wonderful,

I agree.

He giggled,

throughout,

the movie,

enjoyed,

his skittles,

and,

slush,

he’s seven, no accounting for taste!!

The rest of them,

stayed home,

with mom,

she was exhausted,

but,

smiling,

by nine,

she was snoring in front,

of the TV.

Before she fell,

asleep,

we watched this,

really fun,

Karaoke style show,

they have on French television.

Allows us,

to sing,

off key,

in the privacy of our home,

while wearing,

pyjamas.

It was a great weekend.

Now,

BB needs,

to rest and read.

A Spanish Sunday:-)

It is,

a beautiful sunny,

daylight savings time,

enhanced morning:-)

I got to say,

I prefer gaining,

an hour,

makes me,

feel virtuous,

about getting up,

so early!

The Habs,

lost last night,

but,

they tried,

Go Habs Go

and,

it is fitting,

that the Rangers,

won in their,

new and improved,

Madison Square Garden.

Rangers will be,

tough,

this year,

good team,

nice sweaters,

roaring fans,

original six, Baby!!!

Today,

is the day,

I take the little guy,

to see,

his dude,

Puss,

to say,

we are excited,

would be an,

understatement!!

I’m wearing,

a red shirt,

with a black mock neck,

Espagnol,

in honour,

of Puss’

Spanish origins:-)

I’m still reading,

the manuscript,

and will,

be telling you more,

soon.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Building Memories

I have big plans,

for Sunday,

I’m taking my nephew,

to see the new,

Puss n Boots movie,

in 3D.

You see,

Puss is Antonin’s,

idol.

As far as,

childhood idols,

are concerned,

he could do,

worse.

Puss is,

smart,

athletic,

adventurous,

brave,

and,

a dapper dresser.

Sure,

he’s a bit of,

a love ’em,

and,

leave ’em,

type,

but,

after all

he is a cat:-)

The kid loves,

cats,

he’s a little cat like,

himself,

very slim,

small framed,

delicate,

and,

yet,

rough and tumble,

a boy.

He has,

two brothers,

and,

a sister,

so doesn’t get,

to go out,

with one,

adult,

one on one,

very often.

He’s coming,

into the city,

we are going,

to take,

the subway,

and watch,

a movie,

starring,

his idol,

should be fun,

and hopefully,

it will leave him,

with a special memory,

I know aunt BB,

is looking forward to it:-)

Have a bright sunshiny day

It’s a beautiful day,

a glorious day,

I feel good,

I just heard,

this song,

on the radio,

I can see clearly now, the rain has gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone’re the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sun-shining day
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sun-shining day

I think I can make it now, the pain has gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is that rainbow I’ve been praying for
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sun-shining day

Look all around, there’s nothing but blue sky
Look straight ahead, there’s nothing but blue sky

I can see clearly now, the rain has gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone’re the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sun-shining day
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sun-shining day
Gonna be a bright, bright sun-shining  day…

I love it when that happens,

you hear a song,

that seems to crystallizes,

your thoughts,

or,

feelings.

A bright sunshiny day to all,

and may you see clearly:-)

Happy Halloween!!

Nice day,

should allow the kids,

to get some,

good loot:-)

I like Halloween,

I don’t love it,

like Christmas,

or,

Valentine’s Day,

but,

it’s fun.

I love watching,

The Rocky Horror Picture,

and/or Beetlejuice.

Let’s do the time warp again!!!

I like Disco,

I like Kitsch,

I like Halloween,

always thought,

I’d make a rad,

construction guy,

from the Village People,

Macho, macho man, I want to be a macho<wink,wink>

I may not be,

the handiest,

butch around,

I’m a lover not a builder:-)

but….

I can wear the belt,

and,

hard hat,

with conviction.

I’m feeling,

light,

airy,

and,

silly,

you may have noticed!!!

So,

allow me to wish,

all of you,

a ghoulishly pleasant,

Halloween,

and as,

my ex would say,

Party Hardy!!!!

Inspiring life

It’s a beautiful,

blue skied day,

the air has,

a bit,

of a bite.

The Habs,

won last night,

close game,

but,

they beat,

Boston,

uh huh,

that’s right,

the Stanley Cup Champions,

in Boston,

2-1,

played their,

hearts and guts,

out.

I’m proud:-)

I’ve been busy,

at the bookstore,

not really,

good busy,

waste of time,

non-productive,

busy.

Retribution for,

a nice vacation,

I guess <sigh>

The one thing,

I had a chance to do,

yesterday,

was read quite a bit,

of the manuscript.

It is a pleasure,

to read.

Not only because,

it is well-written,

but,

because,

Kropotkin,

had a truly,

inspiring life.

Born a Russian Prince,

his father ‘owned’

over 1200 souls,

which is how,

they referred,

to serfs,

in Tsarist Russia,

he gave it all up,

to become,

a man who lived,

for principle,

whose aspirations,

were a world of equality,

for all of ‘mankind’.

He was imprisoned,

many times,

lived in poverty,

and often ill health,

but,

he never betrayed,

his ideals,

his principles,

a brilliant,

talented man,

whose life is truly,

an exemplary one.

A never surrender,

never give up,

kind of a guy.

Wow,

so that’s what,

I’ve been reading.

A butch and her boots

Well,

the fall,

the cold part,

has arrived.

The Habs,

have been,

on a losing streak,

but,

tonight,

they kicked,

the Flyers,

butts,

oh yeah,

5-1,

how sweet it is,

take that you,

broadstreet bullies:-)

You all know,

I went to,

Toronto,

recently,

saw some friends,

saw some sights,

I tell you girls,

I love Toronto,

it’s big,

it’s beautiful,

so much to see,

to do,

it may be,

a little bit,

big,

for someone like me,

to inhabit,

but,

I’m going to keep,

visiting.

One of the aims,

of my visit,

was to buy,

a new pair,

of,

Blundstones.

For years,

I lusted after,

these boots,

but,

I never,

seemed to get,

around to buying,

a pair,

two years,

ago,

I bought a pair,

500’s the originals,

in stout brown,

very dark,

almost,

black,

like my hair used to be, before the onset of Silver

I have worn them,

ever since,

every day,

through,

heat,

cold,

rain,

snow.

They are steady and sure,

you don’t wonder,

‘what shoes will I wear, today?’

you pull on your boots.

I love them,

but,

I started thinking,

I’d like a pair,

to be less,

straight,

snazzier,

just a tad,

flashier,

and,

I looked around,

when I found,

the crazy horse brown,

I sort of,

knew,

but,

I had to think about it,

‘did I need a second pair?’

well,

you always need,

a second pair:-)

One of my customers,

told me they,

would be cheaper,

in Toronto,

lower sales tax,

plus I would,

be sure to find,

the type and colour,

I wanted,

at

on Queen st,

in Toronto,

he was right,

they had all of them,

plus,

sheepskin insoles,

and,

the right,

protection,

for my Blunnies.

A thoroughly,

enjoyable,

experience,

within,

fifteen minutes,

I had tried,

bought,

and,

had my BBB’s,

treated.

I didn’t think,

it possible,

but,

I love them,

more,

than,

the,

originals,

more comfortable,

even,

and possessing,

a certain,

‘je ne sais quoi’

I’ve been wearing,

them,

for four days,

they are,

espousing,

my feet.

You think,

that makes me fickle?

two pairs,

I love them both.

Perhaps I am boot bigamist<wink>064 Chisel Toe Crazy Horse

 

It really is,

a case,

of a butch and her boots,

a love story.

Thank you,

Toronto,

Australian boot store,

and,

my friends,

for,

a beautiful,

weekend,

and,

I hope,

many years of boot,

love

Wink.

…and the winner is…

I’m back from To.

Had a great time,

reconnected with,

some ‘old’ friends,

made some new ones.

Bought some boots,

visited some funky,

neighbourhoods,

went to a fun bar,

had some Indian food,

went on a day trip,

to Hamilton,

which is really cool.

The boots?

when I came,

face to toe,

with the choices,

the red were too,

burgundish,

I don’t like burgundy!!

So, I got the,

Crazy Horse Brown,

and they,

rock!!!

Smooth and broken in,

with a little bit,

of an edge,

like me <wink>

I’m tired,

but,

it’s a good tired.
