Can anyone recommend a hotel near O-Hare airport, with shuttle service, or, maybe just a favourite hotel with shuttle service? Thanks

That's the sound I hear when one hand is clapping

He needs to sit on the big stool

He sounds dreamy. Glad you had that simple innocent crush

I know what he's thinking: "blow it up my ass"

I stick to my high school and elementary school reunions. College feels too much like life.

That's a pretty big crack, might need a couple coats of man spackle

I've been having an eclectic month of reading: Naked Airport, A Cultural History of the World's Most Revolutionary Structure. It's interesting but definitely a niche read. China in Drag, Travels with a Cross-Dresser. Written by a BBC journalist stationed in China for decades. He travels with his older language tutor across China to visit sites important to his tutor. It's a geographic tour of modern Chinese history from the Cultural Revolution, embrace of capitalism, Tiananmen Square ... in high heels.

That you were never planning on travelling ever again? lol

There are four books with this title in our local library, but none of them are this one.

The phone book. Haha. I'm keeping one as a historical curiosity. My Tender Matador is a book I've read over and over. I've recently re-read a bunch of stuff, Of Mice and Men, Cat's Cradle, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, A History of God.

Thanks for the detail in your posts. I am planning a trip soon, so it is all good information for my own planning.

My Tender Matador by Pedro Lemebel. The story is compelling, the use of language (even in translation) is great. A story of infatuation and caring between an older drag queen and a younger student radical in Pinochet's Chile circa 1985.

You could share a laugh about your 'pumpkin-spiced President'

Woody's relocated countries, and he and his husband are living in different cities. Maybe new considerations for a bit.

Are you a one 'hump' Camel or a two 'hump' Camel?

He's thinking 30km, I'm thinking pre-lubed

well those seats are definitely giving me an idea ...

Was that for his boyfriend or his girlfriend?

Doesn't look nasty to me

The day recreational marijuana was legalized in Canada, a 9-year-old girl in Edmonton sold all her Girl Scout cookies in 45 minutes outside a newly opened weed shop.
