I was either 53 or 54 at the time of my first hire.

Zero ability, therefore zero interest. Convinced that as I traveled the hallway of creation that all the sports doors were closed.

I was born, raised and still live in San Francisco. If I were younger and did not have family here I would move in a heart-beat. San Francisco has become a homeless haven - tents everywhere, fifty streets and corrupt politicians.

Before you move, spend a week or two walking around San Francisco, read about city hall politics and open your eyes to what you see!

Friends and I have been discussing the movie and each of us has a different interpretation or understanding of the meaning of the ending scene where we see Michael running down the street. I am interesting in hearing what you took away from that scene.

Definitely a briefs guy. Since I have, what might be called an underwear fetish, I have a wide range of brands. If wearing a jock, the favorite is Pump, if wearing briefs, I am most likely to be wearing, Cocksox, 2xist or Team 8.

My question is: What will make you comfortable enough to attend he Gathering? Would you attend if an effective vaccine has not been engineered? I desperately want to see everyone but an anxious and uneasy so I am looking for some thoughts that would put a positive spin on attending the gathering in April.

As the days have become weeks and the weeks months I find that my interest in hiring becomes less and less. If and when we return to some form of "normal" I may reach out to one of my regulars but at this point in time I am not at all certain that I will.

Today we would have gathered at Trio for dinner, and although that is not going to take place, I am raising my glass (martini) to say thanks to Oliver for all the time and money he has put into making the PS Gathering a premier event! Also a special thanks to Epiganos,, our very own James Beard or is it Julia Child, for the delicious food he prepares each year - guess I will have to make my own deviled eggs. A shout out to all of the regulars at INNdulge. This would have been my tenth gathering - who knows what the future holds - stay safe, have fun and always be true to yourself.

I am the older and both of us are gay

If you are cancelling a reservation at INNdulge the front desk does not have authority to offer any credit for future booking. You need to talk to the manager or email him at INNdulgeManager@gmail.com. Apparently credits are being handled on a case by case basis.

Just heard back from Inndulge. I paid 2 nights deposit for a 4 night stay. They are issuing me a credit for 2 nights during off season, or 1 night during peak season. Good enough.

Interesting, I had a reservation for nine days, paid over $1000 deposit and when I cancelled they offered me nothing! I will definitely talk to them tomorrow.

INNdulge"s decision not to modify there cancellation policy at this time, might not be the best business decision. I have stayed at INNdulge many time but will definitely look for other lodging options on any future visits to PS.

It was a difficult decision, but one that I had to make. I just told Oliver that I would not be attending the PS Gathering. This would have been my eleventh gathering. Say safe and have fun!

Has Palm Springs decreed a limit on the size of gatherings?

Since I live in San Francisco, I am considering driving to PS and thereby avoiding the airports and airplanes. I am interested in hearing what others think about the risks of going through an airport and then flying. Are these risks likely to keep you away from the PS Gathering?

One of our past Escort of the Year winners, David-Sf (David Wichman) has written a book titled "Every Grain of Sand". Check it out on Amazon. It is a powerful memoir of his life and his road to sobriety.

The gathering is still six weeks away - I am taking a wait and see approach, but am mentally prepared for the need to cancel.

Silent/Greatest Generation here. Know four, possibly more from the G.I Generation

Bump -

I know this might be covered in a prior year's threat, but at some point, does @Oliver or @Epigonos request an RSVP for the event he hosts?

As we get closer to the gathering date Oliver will send you a request to respond letting him know which of the events you will be attending.

Three months from today we gather for dinner in Palm Springs. Is it too early to start counting down?

Wishing all a Blessed Christmas and a Very Hapy New Year!

Don't confuse "I love you" with "I am in love with you"!

Jack, join the group at the Palm Springs gathering - you will definitely find more than one Daddy!
