La cinquantaine passée, Il boxe à domicile sur le ring qu’il a fait construire dans sa propriété de Key West. Il délaisse parfois les gants pour arbitrer des combats locaux. Avec moins de succès. Un soir, un certain « Shine » Forbes tente par trois fois de jeter l’éponge pour sauver son poulain mais Hemingway fait durer le plaisir et lui renvoie sa troisième tentative en pleine face.
Enragé, Forbes passe entre les cordes et étend le grand homme. Le match est arrêté. Plus tard dans la soirée, Forbes se rend au domicile d’Hemingway pour présenter ses excuses. Il s’attend à remettre les gants mais Hemingway lui tend la main et l’invite à venir s’entraîner le lendemain. Forbes restera le « sparring-partner » d’Hemingway jusqu’à la fin de sa vie en 1961.
In his late 50s, he boxed at home in the ring he had built on his property in Key West. He sometimes abandons the gloves to arbitrate local fights. With less success. One evening, a certain "Shine" Forbes tried three times to throw in the towel to save his foal but Hemingway made the pleasure last and sent him his third attempt in the face.
Enraged, Forbes passes between the ropes and stretches the big man. The match is over. Later that evening, Forbes goes to Hemingway's home to apologize. He expects to put the gloves back on, but Hemingway reaches out and invites him to come train the next day. Forbes will remain Hemingway’s sparring partner until the end of his life in 1961.
After a couple more trips to Key West we might be able to say we've discovered all the beauty and seen all the interesting sights there are to see. Just a short walk from the Hemingway House, where the 6-toed cats live, is a Butterfly Observatory. There's a lot to be said of a small observatory, so many in a small space.

PS: All sizes plz for full taste.
Doc and I once bought an old farmhouse that was over 100 years old. Left behind was a few treasures and trinkets - one of them being this key. It was wrapped in a cloth, and hidden in the corner of a drawer, in an antique table. I searched and searched, but never did find a keyhole that the key would open - but it did remind me of an old Bluebeard tale . . .
-----------------------------------------
Bluebeard was a wealthy and powerful nobleman who had been married several times to beautiful women, who had all mysteriously vanished. When Bluebeard visits his neighbor and asks to marry one of his daughters, the girls are terrified. After hosting a wonderful banquet, he chooses the youngest daughter to be his wife – against her will – and she goes to live with him in his rich and luxurious palace in the countryside, away from her family.
Bluebeard announces that he must leave for the country and gives the keys of the château to his wife. She is able to open any door in the house with them, each of which contain some of his riches, except for an underground chamber that he strictly forbids her to enter lest she suffer his wrath. He then goes away and leaves the house, and the keys in her hands. She invites her sister, Anne, and her friends and cousins over for a party. However, she is eventually overcome with the desire to see what the forbidden room holds, and she sneaks away from the party and ventures into the room.
She immediately discovers the room is flooded with blood and the murdered corpses of Bluebeard's former wives hanging on hooks from the walls. Horrified, she drops the key in the blood and flees the room. She tries to wash the blood from the key, but the key is magical and the blood cannot be removed. . . .
*(Since we are all in quarantine - this might be a good time to read about Bluebeard and his "key".)

A red color key creates a color contrast with just one color. Even the background is white, the lovely sharksin suit is black and the only color comes from the red organza fabric, a lot of light red color has been around which I removed mostly. I really like that effect. What do you think?

This was taken at the Key monastery - Kye Gompa is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery located on top of a hill at an altitude of 4,166 metres above sea level, close to the Spiti River, in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh. It was part of a bike trip from Manali to Spiti and back a few years ago. The location is awe inspiring - hills all around, nothing but the road in front of you.

I know exactly which key to use.
