It was a send-out test; I don't know how much it cost. But I took it a few months before I was vaccinated for the first time.

When straight men are asked why they shave their body hair, they usually respond that women like them that way. I'm not a woman.

I should have used some emoji to show that I meant my comment tongue-in-cheek. That's the problem with conversations in print.

If your local airport is a non-hub, and the largest number of flights out of it are SW, your New Year's resolution never to fly them again probably won't last much longer than any of your other resolutions.

The subject rarely came up in casual conversation when I was younger, because it seemed to be taken for granted that you were a loser if you had to pay for it. However, I joined this site when I was in my late 50s, because it was a place to discuss the subject in an objective manner. Of course, that was about the time that the Internet was invented, which changed the way a lot of things were discussed.

Nonsense. It's the quality of the experience that matters. $50 is too much for a lousy fuck.

I have a lifelong friend who is a reputable medical technologist. She has worked in labs in several hospitals around the world. Her brother died of AIDS a quarter century ago. From the beginning of the pandemic she has believed that deaths from COVID are a hoax, and doesn't want to hear any evidence to the contrary, because she believes that Fauci pushed that theory just to get funding for the CDC. People will believe what they want to believe.

In case you wonder who Edward Avery McIlhenny was, his father invented and marketed tabasco sauce; it was the source of the entire family's great wealth. His nephew Henry was the President of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, with a mansion on Rittenhouse Square. He was also well known in the Philadelphia gay community in the mid-20th century. I was taken to a couple of parties at the mansion in the 1960s.

Advertising as "straight" means that the escort can always pull the "straight" card if there is something he doesn't want to do with you. Also, he can make you feel special if he does do something with you that you assumed he wasn't willing to do with just any man.

Both games were pretty exciting, but I felt bad for my football fan family members, who are Michigan and Ohio State alumni. There have been a lot of good bowl games this season, but my favorite was the Oregon win by one point over North Carolina on the last kick.

I went to high school with the son of the owners of the only family-owned funeral home in our town. Most of us thought he was kind of creepy. He did eventually take over the business.

When I was young, there were no porn stars.😞

There is a Bergen County in New Jersey, but no town of Bergen, even though there is a town of North Bergen (which is not in Bergen County) but no Bergen or South Bergen. Since the other places on his list are all cities, I would assume he meant Bergen, Norway, but he isn't like to be in Victoria (BC?) the day before and Breckinridge the day after that Bergen. [Note: I worked in North Bergen one summer when I was in college. It is not a likely place for escort activity.]

I agree with @Unicorn that the French Caribbean has the best food. I like St. Bart's, but it isn't very gay.

Is that a strangely modern decorative tattoo on his left arm?

That Frenchie must work out with him, because it is BIG.

SW is now the biggest airline at PSP (it used to be Alaska). A friend's father came from Tulsa to visit her here for the holiday, and was supposed to fly back home on SW Xmas night. After numerous cancellations, he is still here. He has finally got a ticket on American via Denver tomorrow.

I know I have told this story before, but one night in the 1970s I was walking toward the Meatrack on Fire Island when I met Calvin Culver/Casey Donovan coming toward me. We smiled at one another, and without a word being uttered, we kissed, and then were rolling around on the ground. It only took a few minutes, then we kissed again, and both continued in the opposite direction. My most notable pornstar hire in the 20th century, however, was Eric Ryan (real name Craig Ambler), one of the sexiest men I have ever met. We spent a wonderful evening in 1987 at his apartment on West 74th St in NYC. We talked for hours, both before and after the main event. I was surprised to learn that he had been a straight construction worker with a wife, before he realized that he also enjoyed sex with men, and could make a living using his body that way. He invited me to come back in the morning to have breakfast, but I had to decline. Unfortunately, both men got lost in drugs and died of AIDS. Their last films were upsetting to watch, especially Christopher Rage's Fucked Up, in which Calvin was obviously under the influence as he got fisted.

It's possible that he doesn't have power.

I wonder why they all loosened one strap to show their left nipple?

Looks more like a tour guide than an escort. Sixty photos and not a single nudie or cock shot?

I was at a car dealer yesterday, and the manager said that customers who normally lease the same model every three years are being told that the dealer can't can't get their favorite models this year, because they are waiting up to 8 months for supply of some popular models. Another dealer told me they have a long backlog on orders for hybrids.

An article on the front page of the LA Times today said to prepare for shortages of vegetables because of the combination of drought and the increase in plant diseases in California as a result of global warming. They predicted that we would soon see lettuce at $11/head.

In case you are wondering where you should have spent Christmas, it is supposed to be 84 F. here in Palm Springs later today. Right now (10:45am) is is only 80.

I try to do the same thing on the conveyor belt, but the checker often moves quickly and things get mixed up, and the packer doesn't always recognize which are the cold items that go in the thermal bag and which are not.
