  1. Hey MartyB have a fantastic trip and be safe. I'm leaving on the 22nd for a three week drive through Burgundy and the Loire Valley; doing the wine thing in Burgundy and the wine and chateau thing in the Loire.

    Do not keep it a secret. Who you going with?

  2. One disparaging name for Aussie Rules is 'cross-country basketball' and there is some validity in that description. Players mark each other across the field, there is no 'front line' the way there is in American football or the two rugby codes, there is a limit how far you can run with the ball without bouncing it (like the travel rule in basketball). It is also a game that works better at the ground than it does on television because you need to see the sweep of the game across the field unlike rugby/NFL where you can see what's happening by focussing on the players around the ball. (Disclosure: I'm a member of the Sydney Swans (effectively that's a season ticket) and have been since 1996. But the game is alien in Sydney, the football of choice there is rugby league and to a lesser extent rugby union: perversely the Swans' crowds are bigger than most rugby code crowds.)

     

    Go Swannies!!!

  3. Todd/L.A. was a actor, living in Hollywood, who escorted on the side. He absolutely reveled in sex with a man. In bed he was like a playful puppy. He used to drive out to my play for dinner, sex and leftovers. He desperately wanted a partner and when he found one he escorted to help put the guy through school. When his partner found out he was escorting he threw a major hissy fit and Todd quit the business. I still send him a holiday greeting, every year, at his old email address. The email never bounces back but there is never a response. Had I been twenty years younger, at the time we met, I would have made the biggest play for this guy imaginable. I sincerely hope he is happy and successful.

    As generous and nice as sending the holiday greeting is, sounds like he would prefer to sever all contact.
