july 8, north vancouver //... the other day Aidan reminded me about the writing that I used to do on my website, between about mid-2004 and the end of 2005... I fancied myself a short story writer. just thinking about those entries in the Morgan Finlay journal got me looking, and I found them among the pile of boxes that arrived from Toronto a couple weeks ago. we have poured over them some-- and I now need to add to them and continue-- but there are just too many distractions these days. you know, when it gets down to it... (.. and yes, I will-- in the Inner Circle... they fascinate me)

april 27, north vancouver //... good morning from the coast... where your man Morgan is making reports and crossing things off. the process of life, of course! many of you got a close-up view of those black cowboy boots that I wore for three and a half years (yikes)... I had them resoled and still burned them down to the ground. most memorable was sliding out across the deck in the Frankfurt train station... guitar, bag, food all come crashing down. no longer!! now that I have had a chance to look at all my gear, and make some decisions, I decided to reach out to the best boots company in the West, Dayton Boots, and see if they would get on board the Brisco Bodai Express. So it is that officially, I introduce you (or re-introduce you) to Dayton Boots, my newest supporter! made in Vancouver since 1946, the toughest and best looking boots around (that you probably thought were made in the US) are known throughout North America and beyond as high quality sh*t-kickers. as everyone knows I am always pulling for the home brands, the little companies that are in the fight and put out great stuff. as it happens, they have just began distributing in Deutschland, and are available in select cities (so far)... schau mal mein freund!... www.daytonboots.com is the address, and the boots I am blessed with are the Bourbon Confederates (www.daytonboots.com/shop/footwear). Damn, the road has never looked this good. action shots coming soon! can't wait to dig these into some of those stages and strasses back in DE-AT-CH...
