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.

A few friends and I are doing Dryuary to get a strong, healthy start to the new year. I and my friends have overindulged a bit this holiday season, so we’re looking forward to it. I often abstain for a month or so and always feel great. Anyone else going dry for the new year? Happy New Year!

I’m getting palpitations!

I admire your courage in posting this, given the storm of opprobrium that results when queries about twinks come up!

I agree. He looks early 40’s. When I was 24 I looked 17.

I’m stunned by the number of people I know who have tested positive in the past week. Most of those who were vaxxed had mild symptoms and some were asymptomatic. A few who are anti-vaxxers, but under 40, had most unpleasant home bound experiences. I’m now triple-vexed, and in excellent health, so I plan to go ahead with an overnight late next week. Perhaps I should be more worried than I am.
