Butterflies Are Not Free

I used to have a pair of these.  Buying them at a boot store in my undergraduate college town is a vivid memory.  I literally wore them out --- soles, heels, straps, vamps...  Lots of good times in them.  People are selling them for near $200 now.

This was all fun for a while, but now it's just plain frustrating.
"O'Leavis Canbolle."  Really?  I plan on reading each of the little books --- do you think the insides will be as indechiperable as the covers?

Relax, though.  It's hockey season, which means we get to see
again.  Hey, Henrik --- how you doin'?
