I didn't know Dave, but I remember an agency in Detroit that came to know me well, and to know the type of guys I liked. (From gallery posting likes, I've come to realize that @Trebor and I have very similar tastes.) I remember some fun discussions of who they had and whether they thought I'd like them. I think they shut down sometime in the mid-2000s.

I had a need for a bunch of croissants (my turn to bring breakfast in our rotating breakfast club at work). $6.00 for a dozen croissants at Costco, $3 apiece at Panera. I'm a loyal customer, although living alone, I do fall into the "their sizes are WAY too big for me" category often.

This just showed up on HBO a couple of weeks ago. I loved it. @oldNbusted pegged it for me. and also some tear-jerking moments. My buddies and I were huge Beatles fans in high school (not to say we still aren't) and this brought up so much nostalgia.

My first (of two) was a Starfleet shield on my left shoulder, about 20 years ago. I asked the tattoo artist if she could do it in gold. "Not if you want to live", she said. They hadn't figured out non-toxic metallic colors then, I'm not sure if they have since.

Public parks in my town aren't crowded. The city dog park closed. The county dog parks are open and are not enforcing that you have to have a sticker to get in.

I'm at about 4 episodes of Hunters now. I like it but it's not as good as I was led to believe.

Everyone seems to be stocking up on their prescriptions. I turned around and left CVS Friday afternoon when I saw the pharmacy line filled an entire aisle. I went back later and it was shorter, they were marking 6-foot spaces on the floor in tape.

My younger sister came out about 10 years after I did.

A couple of years ago you couldn't get past a gallery post without seeing a "Good-looking guy, but ugh, those tattoos" response. Thankfully, that seems to have ended.

I did. He left Mason Wyler wobbly in the legs after his scene.

I know, right?

A group from work played paintball one night. The next day, one of the women who'd played pulled up her skirt to show me the big bruise she had on her right hip. :-)

Giving @vasudev the benefit of the doubt that he posted the entire conversation as he stated, we did read both sides. Vasudev asked, didn't demand, through the whole exchange, and was met with just, well, sulkiness. I've been on both sides of that conversation, when the escort's shifted the time by a bit, or I've asked to. I got there about 15 minutes early for my last hire, I hung out at the hotel bar until he was ready, and he ended up being late - he came down to the bar to have a drink with me about 20 minutes after our time to meet, after that we headed up to his room.

I will be staying away from family. My sister's just about to return from a trip to Europe and will probably be self-quarantining for quite a while. I'm conflicted about how I'll respond if she asks for a ride home from the airport tomorrow. My father's in a retirement home that's on lockdown, no visitors, meals delivered to rooms rather than in the dining hall, and they're strongly discouraging the residents from leaving the home at all. I have been checking in with my father on the phone daily, and keep in touch with others electronically, but I don't anticipate seeing them face-to-face soon unless there's some emergency.

The usual. Mostly rent.men, but some on rentmasseur.com and masseurfinder.com

I'm amazed (and frustrated) at the number of new ads that are showing up in Detroit.

You, sir, are much more persistent than I am. :-)

I didn't see anywhere on there about when the 52nd edition actually came out. The books used to be named with the year, if I remember correctly.

Star Trek reference! In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Valeris (Kim Cattrall!) has a speech about workers threatened by automation throwing their wooden shoes, called "sabot", into the machines to jam them. Hence the word "sabotage".

It was a book, actual paper. "The Little Black Book of gay travel". A directory of all places of interest to gays organized by location. Bars (rated by what type, drag queen/leather/hustler), shops/restaurants, community centers. Maybe bathhouses, maybe local gay sports organizations? They'd print updated versions every year, I think. I had printed copies in the late 90's/early 2000's. It's an online subscription service now, I don't know if they still actually print it. https://damron.com/ I last used it maybe 10 years ago, a friend who danced at the Gold Coast was on a road trip and looking for places where he could stop in & dance for a night.

The william higgins massage videos always seem mechanical. But like pizza, even a not-great massage is pretty good.

Wow. Never heard of the guy getting the massage, Spencer Laval. New favorite :-)

Try this - it's a Blake Harper massage I have bookmarked, not sure if it's the one everyone is referring to. https://www.redtube.com/533012

it's crazy. My work just announced everyone is to work from home all next week, my Dad's retirement home just put a "no-visitors" policy in, and I'm getting all sorts of notices from every business I interact with about the precautions they're taking. Even the pizza joints are recommending online ordering and have the delivery guy just drop the pizza at your door and run. And there is a sudden rush of hot new visiting escorts to Detroit. Argh!

Are you sure? he mentions 4-hand massage, 300 isn't out of the ordinary for that, and otherwise says "Open to fulfilling your fantasy. Kinky (but not into physical abuse.) submissive"
