Phew. I swear this time of year, changing the clock is the next best thing to gettin’ a tax refund check. Daylight…I love it.
(I’ve been really busy lately. I’ve been going up to Michael Anthony’s bootshop on Fridays. Friday used to be my day at home to work on my web page, get caught up on phone calls…stuff like that. I’m feelin’ like I’m stretched a little thin.)
To say that Michael Anthony’s motto is “…measure twice, cut once” would be a gross understatement. No eye-ballin’ or thumbnails allowed. He’s a maniac for details. He’s got at least five or six different lining leathers he uses for his boots. He picks a different one depending on the top and vamp material, color, price, weight of the boot…stuff like that.
Michael Anthony: Some people would call me…ummm, what’s the word..?
JJ: …anal
Michael Anthony: Yeah that’s it. I’m anal.
JJ: Yep.
I’m gonna go up to Michael Anthony’s boot shop today. I packed up my tools last night….I could use a cup of coffee.
Well…it’s 10:00. I have no idea what to expect from that press release. I faxed a copy to my mom..that’s a sure bet for at least one call. My e-mail’s down, so my message letting the bootmakers know I got my front page updated is sitting uncomfortably in my outbox right now. Waitin’….ugh.
I just sent out 68 copies of a press release (about my web page)…hope SOMEBODY calls me tomorrow.
