There is a current thread here and on the other site started by @latbear4blk about Mexico City.

It really was! It was nice meeting you too.

I tend to stick with regulars so I like hosting at my hotel or house.

You are absolutely correct! I often join friends for dinner or drinks and enjoy sparkling water or mocktails; yet still have a great time. I got to the point where I felt “entitled” to a glass or two of wine every night. I simply stopped and was grateful to find how easy it was, although I know very well that it’s almost impossible for many to stop. There seems to be a growing sobriety movement and Millennials, in particular, are drinking less. I’ve mentioned an app that can be very helpful. It’s called Dry Days. Like any accountability tool, it forces you to “check in” every day. For me, it’s gratifying to see the dry days add up. For those who would like to take a break from alcohol, it’s really a useful tool.

I’ve witnessed this first-hand with a former business partner. He must have hit close to 400 pounds when he decided on the surgery, in Tijuana. Up to that time, he avoided client interaction because of his weight. After the surgery, he started drinking huge amounts of beer, combined with habitual pot use, benzos and pain killers. He also began to show signs of early dementia. Really sad. Lost his wife, friends. Alienated his family. We believe the surgery was the precipitating factor.

Looks like InnDulge is around the same price as Vista Grande, where we stayed. VG was really fine. Although we didn’t take many meals there, they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff couldn’t have been nicer. Many thanks to Oliver for arranging everything so expertly, to Epigonos for the deviled eggs and other delicious food, and to all the attendees for making the weekend so memorable and enjoyable!

Pisces here.

Enjoying a morning cup of coffee on the patio in San Clemente before heading out to the desert. Weather looks like it’ll be perfect. About 50 and sunny here.

I don’t dispute that!

That’s what I was thinking.

Jeez, that’s a bummer. He really wants to do an overnight with me and fly to Birmingham, where I want to check out the burgeoning restaurant scene. I’m not buying a r/t only to have him flake.

The German blond looks scrumptious!

At least.

Yeah, I remember that one. Gotta love those double-knit suits and stacked shoes. What a sartorial disaster the 70’s were. Even then, I made my mother buy me Chemise Lacoste shirts, which were then made in France. I think they were $15.

Atorvastatin? A statin.

Fascinating.

So jealous!

Verbose? 17 words? Lol

I recall that one of the resorts had a dungeon with a sling? Any info re that?

I’m not sure what this means: “I require pictures just to make sure the equipment will work.”

I’m just bringing a carry on, using Eagle Creek compression cubes. A Speedo and shorts and maybe a light sweater for the evening? A few shirts?

Sir, you are making me feel that a trip to the Sceptered Isle should be added to my itinerary!

Did anyone ever take the plunge? He’s now in San Diego and I’ve been chatting with him about a possible meeting. Superb ass.

He’s probably a sweet kid, even though he’s quite young. Not my type, but he surely appeals to a number of men.

Ooh-la-la! The heat keeps going up for next week!!!
