Bookish Butch Esq.

Winner GBLT category

I hope this post,

finds all of you,

well,

happy,

in,

tip top,

Summer shape.

I am feeling fantastic,

fabulous,

and,

clear headed strong.

I spent a most enjoyable,

weekend,

caught up with my love,

spent a good portion,

of Sunday,

exploring and photographing,

Ottawa,

a pretty town.

Took the bus back to,

the beautiful ugly,

through pretty farm lands,

bright sunshine,

a good book,

alone with my ideas,

my thoughts,

allowing my mind to wander.

Quite the luxury,

time to yourself,

I get more than most,

I feel I need it,

sometimes,

to balance,

what my lady calls,

my social butterfly side.

Monday was very quiet,

reading Henry James on the balcony,

a few errands,

but,

quiet,

I like my week to begin,

quietly.

I visited my accountant,

yesterday,

I used to own a bookstore,

this required,

tax forms,

too complex,

for the mathematically challenged butch,

that I am.

I closed the bookstore,

but,

the last tax return needed to be,

done,

of course, I was late, but, no biggie

it occurred to me,

after Nadia, the lovely Russian woman who does my taxes, asked me if I would keep a business name, if I would continue working for myself…

I should create a new,

name for my creative,

endeavours,

I’ve had a biz name and email,

associated with my former bookstore,

for ten years,

but,

I don’t want to keep it,

I want to keep,

the past in the past,

I want to keep moving,

forward.

So,

I came up with,

and,

secured a new name,

bookish butch esq.

nope,

I am not a lawyer,

nor  an aspiring knight

😛

but,

I do like the sound of it,

the connotations,

gentleman butch,

bookishbutchesq,

has a certain,

je ne sais quoi,

even,

rakish,

quality about it,

I think,

I hope.

So that’s my new branding,

and,

I ordered some cards,

not too many, trying it out:-)

They simply state,

I write, I photograph,

and,

the flip side has the new header picture on it.

I liked the shot I had before,

very much,

but,

it belonged to a friend of mine,

this one is all mine.

I write, I photograph,

I am bookish butch Esq.

Living the dream,

lucky butch.

Be well all of you,

chin up.

Later girls,
