Patrick and I have been back from New York for almost a month and I’m just now finally making time to post. I know, bad me. Oh, well. You’ll get over it.
Really, the longer I went without posting, the more I didn’t want to. So I didn’t. I’ve been enjoying my online hiatus, unplanned as [...]

I’ve been so busy lately. I don’t know how someone unemployed can have so much to do … and be so behind in doing it. I think it’s because it’s more difficult to say no to people when I’m unemployed. When I was working a REAL job, I felt okay with turning things down.
Tomorrow Patrick [...]

I was right. Rendezvous provided more than a few great stories.
Unfortunately, since returning from the wide-open land of Wyoming, I’ve been working 12-hour days on a film shoot and am too tired to tell you all my sordid gay camping stories. Plus, I’m too far behind in the rest of my life to spend much [...]

The plane ride to New York was the most alcoholic time I’ve ever had in my life. Too bad I’d had nothing to drink.
I knew it was going to be a great time when, as the plane was pulling away from the terminal, the 70-something lady across the aisle from me asked if I had [...]

Just a quick note: I’m out of town until March 10, so while I plan on coming online regularly, updates may be sporadic. The good news is that I’ll probably have a lot to talk about when I return…
Apologies to my regular reader. And I did mean that to be singular.
