They do look similar.

Link?

Madrid has a phenomenally unique look.

Where can you find one of those?

Vaguely Lovecraftian.

Hot as fuck! Hope you meet and provide a report. 🤞

Nate has done a fantastic job communicating with those of us initially planning to go. I look forward to my first MAL next year. I’ve got my ass where I want it after years of working out, so over the next year I’ll have some custom-made lamb skin chaps made for my debut. Daddy’s coming home. Lol.

The tests are largely unavailable in the two places I live largely because of hoarding. I agree with @Unicorn on this topic. I’m triple vaxed and hiding on the island until the end of January, enjoying 9 hour deep sleeps, daily isolated workouts and the usual bonhomie with my neighbors. No alcohol, great reading and mediocre writing and listening to all of Bruckner’s symphonies. Nirvana. With the snow and towering Douglas firs, it resembles northern Sweden.

Thanks. I do a variety of workouts, so I look forward to trying it. I don’t “lift” anymore with barbells, but I do use fairly heavy kettle bells for swings, squats, reverse lunges, etc.

Do you have a recommendation? I know beet juice is a great blood pressure solution.

My New Year’s Day 7:00 am flight to Seattle left on time and arrived early. For once, luck was on my side. A cute twink was in the middle seat, but he slept the whole time.

I wish I could do a double 💙💙

Melatonin actually keeps me awake!

I hope to do at least two. There is a handful of countries in Europe I haven’t yet visited and I hope to knock out at least three in September: Greece, Albania and Portugal.

I’m writing a book about my travels and personal interactions in Central and Eastern Europe, including Ukraine and Belarus. I’m also researching a book about the despair, addiction and monotony of a small Appalachian town, but need to spend some time there this year. Along the lines of Dreamland, by Sam Quinoñes.

So cute! He has a pair of Persols just like mine.

He’s been on my buddy list!

Reduce alcohol intake by starting with Dryuary. Write at least an hour everyday.

I was in deep REM by then.

That actually would work for me.

This seems to be the case.

“Fully functional”? Yep, dead giveaway. You have quite the eye for these poseurs.

New development: he came down with Covid yesterday but is doing ok, so we’ll postpone out of an “abundance of caution”.

Grim.

You’ll notice that I’m still planning to hire. One of my friends who tested positive only has the sniffles, so I’m largely in agreement with your assessment of risk.
