Mr. Boots
An Astute Young Kitty's Salutations
Many of you who are common patrons of the food and beverage establishment known as 'Vultures Hideaway' should now be quite familiar with one of its most honourable and dignified employees Mr. Simon Boots Esquire. Mr. Boots began his prestigious tenure at this local watering hole about three years ago becoming a very dear and trusted colleague of the late original proprietor Mr. Simon Hamilton Smith.
After Mr. Smith’s unfortunate end the establishment found itself in a quite terrible bind. However most truly and fortunate the young lad Mr. Boots picked up the mantle of leadership and also stole the hearts and minds of both the staff and the patrons. However this past year of employment was quite stressful for our feline compatriot. Some of the decisions that were manifested deeply unsettled him, nonetheless he was steadfast in his dedication.
More recently I sat down to discuss the future of this beloved personality and some of the answers were quite introspective.
Interviewer: Mr. Boots now that this is the end of your employment at Nichols West what does your promising future behold?
Mr. Boots: Well I shall tell you what my future has in store good sir!
I have received multiple offers that will most assuredly advance my academic legend and prowess, I will obviously miss all the friends and acquaintances that I have been fortunate enough to ascertain this past year. But the future waits for the bold, the brave, and of course the grandiose.
Where change is terribly scary, it is also awesomely terrifying, and I wouldn’t trade that feeling for anything in the world. For as the classic adage goes All things must pass, and better yet all things must be born anew.
Interviewer: God speed Mr. Boots.
Mr. Boots: and God speed to you as well my dear friend

Why You Should Write Love Letters to Yourself
The term of endearment hyperbole, ‘I Love You to the Moon and Back’, which I often tell my daughter, with the additional elongated: ‘and back again, beyond infinity’, is believed to have originated from Sam McBratney’s 1994 children’s book: ‘Guess How Much I Love You’.
