Pensant

one of my best friends lives there, actually right over the line in Paradise Valley. His area is walkable and is filled with those charming mid-century ranchers with decent lots and the iconic 6x6 paned picture windows. Another favorite district is Arcadia, the hipster area. Organic juice bars, 4th generation coffeee places, and lots of fit, attractive residents. While not a Camelback fan (too many tourists) Squaw Peak is a great hike. There are also miles of bike trails along the canals and down by Papago. I agree that the air quality isn’t all that great. In the summer, a three hour drive takes you to Flagstaff and high altitude, cooler summers and fantastic mountain hiking. I considered buying a condo there a few years back, but with two places already, I didn’t need or want a third. Of course, now I can barely afford the two!

I just had a pleasant exchange with (to me) a very cute provider in Seattle. I mentioned that I wanted to see him in June if it’s safe to, and hoped that he’d still be available. He responded in a very friendly way and said that he would be available then and told me to “stay safe”. I suspect that he wants to keep his profile up for future business. I wouldn’t even think of judging him since he’s not hustling for business. He’s one I’ll look forward to meeting when this subsides.

I just ordered a Wahl barber-grade trimmer. I’m not sure how the first cut will look. 2 on the top fading to 1 on the sides and back. Good that I own a lot of baseball hats!

I wear sunglasses all the time!

He also is in a high-risk group given his recent history of asthma flare-ups. One of my doctor’s patients is a 29 yo woman with asthma, currently on a ventilator.

I am involved with a telemedicine company which is booming right now. A bright spot in a otherwise gloomy market. They’re being reimbursed.

I suppose I can be a bit of a Calvinist sometimes ?

For sure. My neighbor is a dentist and that’s what she’s seeing. I’ll get an update tonight at our weekly social distancing cocktail hour.

Without proof, I’d pass. How many in the past have claimed to be free of STI’s?

Yesterday, I had my annual physical. I was only one of two people in the waiting area. I usually have a nice conversation with my young internist, and yesterday was no exception. I was wearing my N95 mask, as was he. Everything checked out fine. I asked him if this was the new normal. He said yes. Patient visits have dropped precipitously, although he, like many others, was using telemedicine. Pediatricians, surgeons, and, especially, orthopedists are all feeling the pain as elective procedures are postponed. I imagine plastic surgeons, in particular, are hurting. I doubt if many Botox and filler procedures are being performed. I wonder how many of these doctors will be drafted into the front lines? BTW, my temp was 96.8.

Re Grindr, I’ve never wanted to load an app owned by a Chinese company with ties to the Ministry of State Security.

Day-um!

I was wondering if the RocketBoys cam site is worthwhile? I’ve never participated in a sexchat before, but my horniness is reaching DEFCON 5!

Yum, I’ve developed a taste for pretty androgynous boys latel!

I found that my mayo and Dijon mustard had expired, so I went to my hipster grocery store and bought a 32 oz. jar of Spectrum organic mayonnaise. It does have organic honey, but no sugar. I use chopped shallots, mayonnais, Dijon mustard and a few shots of Trader Joe’s hot chili sauce in my albacore tuna salad. Yummy!

I couldn’t agree more. Over the years I’ve turned down requests from friends to cruise on the floating Petri dishes. To me, a cruise on some massive boat would be like a marine Mandalay Bay, with non-stop gluttony, drinking and gambling. A nice Hinckley sailboat charter with a small crew, on the other hand, would be much more to my liking. Let them go under (Financially, that is).

I’m not sure how many more ads will be up. There are likely to be some younger guys placing ads as the recession takes hold. Possibly there will be an uptick in hiring as the virus recedes; however, many will most likely put off hiring for a long time. I’d like to see my regular guys again this summer, but who knows?

Some of the most powerful and poignant words I’ve read in a long time. Thank you @purplekow for sharing this with us. You’re an amazing man!

I’m now reconsidering travel to Eastern Europe late this summer. Perhaps it’s best to just stay in the PNW and explore more of the northern Cascades and Vancouver Island.

Maybe this one? https://rent.men/Sexxyfunnguyy

He may be at the “top” of the list sometime in the future. That big dick is magical!

It’ll be a vastly different landscape in 90 days, that’s for sure. i Do hope to see many of you at the 2021 PS gathering. Fingers crossed ?

So many hot boys walking around my gentrified Millennial neighborhood <sigh>

Did 6 sets of 20 53 lb kettlebell swings and 6 sets of 15 ring pull ups yesterday preceded by 18 pull ups and 15 50 pound shoulder presses. Not bad for a sexagenarian

From what I’ve been reading, any foreign travel is off the table for 2020. I plan to continue to spend the summer in the PNW. I hate leaving the island house empty all summer. Any other travel will be by car.
