michaelboyWhen I was in my single digits, I begged and begged for a pair of cowboy boots. I am not even sure why I wanted them, but I kept on this for months. Mom and Dad eventually relented and bought me a pair of fine-looking (with sewn-in tooling) boots. Within a week, I had lost one of them at the Dairy Dream where it was discarded – never to be seen again.
I must not have loved them as much as I had once thought.
