Thanks, I was about to research rentals.

I agree that Delta is the best of the legacy carriers. But, Alaska is the best of the newer.

Oh, I certainly remember high school phys Ed! I was a little chubby and underdeveloped in 9th grade, but the following summer I grew a few inches and got leaner and went out for x-country and track. We always showered after gym class and I distinctly remember at least a dozen of my fellow students. Perfect asses and lean, smooth bods. I jacked off every night fantasizing about them, but maintained a very firm straight demeanor while at school.

I am 90% certain that I’m booking a trip to Portugal in September. Thinking three weeks. I may ship a cross-bike over and ride from Lisbon to Porto. Lots of hot providers there, too. Hopefully, Covid will have eased by then.

I’m hoping that younger providers are honest when they tell this older gentleman that he’s handsome! Their dicks don’t lie.

Except for WASCs like me.

these days, Burberry is definitely not preppy. Ditto with Prada, LV or other brands. Southerners love the preppy look most of all. In the Northeast, it’s much more muted. Read “Class” by Paul Fussell for a great commentary on “trying too hard” to look the part. That said, I’m ashamed to say that in my 20’s I owned and used the following: Lacoste shirts, made in France Bass Weejuns with tassels beat up Made in USA Topsiders without socks Alden shell cordovan tassel loafers numerous Brooks Brothers and Southwick suits Royall Bay Rhum silk grosgrain belts Kelly green pants and blazer Nantucket reds ad nauseum

I think it’s getting to be that time For many.

I pay my usual generous two hour rate. The provider is happy and I am, so we can focus on our fun time. They’ve been telling me that the low-ballers are out in force.

Rogue Fitness is terribly backordered on all its equipment and on Amazon and eBay crappy stuff, when available, is stratospherically priced. Fortunately, I have a cast iron 35 pound kettlebell and parallettes. Luckily, I just got a pair of Jungle Jim TRX straps which I’ll use with a pull up bar I just found at Titan Fitness. And, hallelujah, I got a plyo box for box jumps and step-ups and found a pair of 30 pound hexagonal dumbbell, all from Titan Fitness. All I need are 53 and 70 pound kettlebells and I’ll have all I need.

I place my N95 in a UV light box every time I use it. And often my wallet, iPhone and keys.

He’s not THAT twinkish

Saw Il Nozze di Figaro and Die Zauberflöte there.

Fortunately my siblings and other close relatives get along very well. Most of them are fairly liberal; the others are apolitical.

I lived there for two years in my early 20’s. I enjoyed it but at the time Minneapolis had an anti-gay mayor and the police would sweep through Loring Park looking for people like me “disturbing the peace”. Gay Nineties was always fun when the police weren’t harassing. Spent a nice weekend with a provider there in conjunction with a business trip in July 2017. Was really impressed with the restaurant scene and Uptown. That area appears to be close to the trouble spots.

I‘ve never been a TV person. Is there something iconically gay about the Golden Girls? I see it referenced here occasionally.

I have a 31 year old regular who looks 22.

Speaking of PDX, there’s a cutie there who I’ll probably see at the end of the month. I don’t have any risk factors other than age and I’ve been awfully good for a long time.

Hope you meet! He pushes all my buttons

From BNA. BNA was very quiet as was SEA. The flight was half full. Really a nice experience!

For the first time since February, I took a flight to Seattle on Alaska in premium economy on Thursday. The flight was supposed to be 5 hours but we took off early and arrived 50 minutes early. The plane was absolutely spotless. I was in 7D and the middle and window seats were empty. The flight crew were great and all the passengers complied with the face mask requirement. Before boarding, I washed my reading glasses in the restroom using soap and water and then dried them off with the Dyson blower. It really worked, as I experienced no fogging during the flight. It was really one of the more pleasant flights I’ve experienced. The FA even handed me a can of Alaska Amber. At TSA pre✅ the staffer told me she didn’t need to see my ID! That’s a new one.

Another wrinkle in the current conundrum

If you can find anything to equip it! Shitty used 53 lb kettlebells are selling for $150 plus $60 shipping on eBay.

Years ago, I abandoned mass gyms for local, private cross-fit style gyms. The 24-Hour in Laguna Niguel was nasty in the best of times, and I got annoyed at the hogging of equipment by idiots who didn’t even know the proper techniques. I’m happy to pay twice the amount to support a local entrepreneur and have the high-end Rogue equipment I prefer with 24-hour fob key access.
