I like reading good erotic stories, fiction and true.  I know about nifty.org and lpsg.com.  Any other sites that have some hot writing?  Thanks.

There may or may not also be 4 different unique IP addresses have have been used by the two accounts.  One of those accounts has reported over a dozen different posts but only in threads about this one provider.  
I don't know if those accounts belong to the provider itself or if it is someone who is just an absolute adoring fan.  In either case, they've made their opinions known.  
@azdr0710 apparently has his crystal ball in good working order...

It's time to go out for pizza!  This thread is going to join the other in the land of locked posts.  

I've never understood the guys that need to have a towel around their waist before taking off the underwear or putting it on.  Especially putting it on.  It seems to me to be so much more simple to pull up the briefs without the obstacle of the towel.
In high school, we showered after PE and most guys grabbed a towel after getting out of the shower, dried off, and dropped it in the laundry cart before walking back to the locker to get dressed.  A few guys would wrap the towels around their waist, but that was the exception.

Encores did it again. After an amazing production of Into The Woods (Now on Broadway), they bring us another production...Parade! It is unfortunate, this production was only 5 days. The subject matter is so relevant today even though it is based on a true story from the 1920's. An all star cast lead by the brilliant Ben Platt. I do hope they can figure out a way to bring this to Broadway as a new group of theater goes deserve too see this. Although, the premise is depressing it is riveting! Lastly, it received stellar reviews.

As promised (threatened?) I will give a rundown on the festivities as the first of my sons was married two weeks ago, with another engaged and the third playing the field. 
For those who hadn't been around, I am a widower with three boys who came late to acknowledging any male/male attraction, and I struggled with coming out later in life than some do. My oldest now works on Capitol Hill, and my younger two are twins, one of whom is in the Navy and the other of whom lives in Chicago after getting his degree from DePaul-- thus their nicknames in this chronicle.
Navy Twin and his fiancee had been together since high school, and they survived his years at the Naval Academy and long separation to reach this point. It was a beautiful, simple wedding, they are both no-nonsense people with little patience for anything too fancy. That mean it was not too expensive, which was nice since I was hosting the rehearsal dinner. They got married in the Chapel at the Academy, and we had the dinner the evening before at the Officers' Club, where my dad is a member. My parents and siblings were there, and my late wife's family likewise. Some of you may remember that my brother-in-law, who came out as gay when he was young, was the first person I confided in. He had eased the way with his side of the family, and they've been nothing but supportive, perhaps because the boys have been. Similarly my son's fiancee's family-- a couple of them didn't say much but I didn't really know them, so that may have been all it was. As I said in an earlier post, I don't think my daughter-in-law to be would have put up with any attitude about it. The evening was pretty relaxed overall.
Naturally everyone was very conscious of who was missing-- the boys' mom. We all talked about her and told the bride's family stories, and if I wasn't already puzzling them, that must have done it, since so much of the talk was about what a wonderful marriage we had, which is true.
I stayed up late back at the hotel talking to the boys about nothing in particular, but we did bring up the last time we all stayed in an Annapolis hotel, when we dropped Navy Twin off for plebe summer. You may remember the last thing he murmured to me before marching in to start the summer, "Be happy." Everyone here, me included, wondered if that meant he had suspected what was going on with me. But after I came out to them, I asked him if he remembered saying that, and he said he did. I asked him why, and blunt as ever, he said, "Because I didn't think you were very happy then."  Smart kid. That was the trip where DePaul Twin, his brother, quietly cried all the way back to DC.
More to come, the wedding, and everybody meets my "friend."

My favorite line of Peter’s near the end of the table session…  “Shall we get more comfortable in the bed.”

As a client, the one exception to this would be for a traveling provider that I've seen before contacting me once to notify me he will be returning to town, especially if that is ahead of his posting his ad so I can get a priority booking as a returning customer.  

My very first massage was with Peter years ago.  At that time, he indicated that he was working on obtaining his licensing. I hired him again on another NYC trip five years later and the massage was even better the second time.  

An excellent masseur on the Upper West Side of NY (104th &  Broadway) is Peter.  He's trained, certified, takes contuing ed courses (which I think is required for maintaining one's license), and can be as playful as you would like him to be -- or strictly legit massage; your choice.  He has a table in his apartment, and will also do the massage on a bed.
Reasonably priced, and a very sweet guy.   I've been seeing him for years.

Yes, most companies either offer vacation + sick days (vacation always being pre-planned and sick days being just that) OR offer PTO - which can be used however an employee wishes.  
PTO works well for many reasons:
1)  Employees do not need to lie about being sick to take an unplanned day.
2)  Employees who never use sick days don't feel they get the short end of the stick by working 10 more days a year than their co-workers who used all of their sick days.
3)  Employees who have sick relatives are able to allocate more PTO days to 'sick day' purposes than was traditionally allocated.  
4)  As mentioned earlier, it is an easier process for the employer to administer one pool of time off versus two.

@Oliver thank you for sharing this sad news with us.  @Epigonos was always fun to be around.  I especially enjoyed many of his traveling stories and his willingness to dispense advice.  
 
I will raise a toast to him today.  

When making this statement, did you overlook the factor that first class passengers are more spaced than those in coach and that may affect a masking decision?

Oliver, you've been in my thoughts all day.  Losing a dear friend is never easy.  Although the grief is fresh, in time I know you will find comfort in all the memories of the wonderful times you and Epigonos shared together.  It is a testament to him that, even though I only met and interacted with him a handful of times, he left an impression on me such that I am feeling so sad and melancholy today to know he is no longer with us.   I loved his candor, his flair for storytelling, and his epicurean talents.  As others have said, there was a genuine warmth about Epigonos that made you feel at ease and happy in his presence.  I can only hope to live out the rest of my life as adventurously and unabashedly as he did!  He will be missed.

The thing I will add that hasn't fully been mentioned yet is his courage and heart.
Epigonos grew up in a time, place, and career where it was not okay to be out.  So in addition to what others have said about his reservoirs of kindness and love for family, friends, and neighbors, there is his courage.  And heart.  I got a front row seat to watching him live out, and love out, all the things he might have wished to do when he was younger - if the world were different back then.  He was the world's biggest realist.  As well as in many ways the world's sweetest man, in disguise.  This forum and the friendships he made, both with fellow connoisseurs like him, and with the escorts he became close to, meant the world to him.
When I first met him a few decades ago I sometimes described him as a kid in a candy store.  He was.  And he loved it.  That took a sense of joy and a willingness to experiment.  But it also took courage to be willing to explore different facets of who he was.  And to make deep friendships that have now left many of us sad or heartbroken.  He built a Gay community of his own the same way he had built communities of family and friends and teachers and students.  One Christmas dinner and one plate of delicious bacon wrapped dates or deviled eggs at a time.  And no one will ever know about the time we hired a bar hooker and had to go to a sex hotel with an armed guard to play for an hour in Acapulco.  Oops!  I just said it.  I always admired the man's balls, heart, courage, and appetite for adventure.
One of the many sweetnesses about the sometimes gruff man we knew was the framed letter from Santa he kept on display under one of his many lavish Christmas trees.  Back in his childhood his Mommy had apparently written a letter to Santa, who I guess worked at some big LA department store at the time.  Santa typed back to young Eppy (it was decades before Santa got online, I guess) to inform him that he had been a good boy.  And so good things would be forthcoming.
He was a good boy, a devoted son, a loving brother, a gifted teacher, and a kind friend.  Many good things came forth, for decades.  I loved the letter in part because it exposed the tender heart and inner spirit that drove it all.  The man had courage, and lived his life with richness and love.

I might wear a mask at the bar next Monday night.  🎃
