  • Blue Angels Practicing Today

    Fighter jets practice overhead for this weekend’s air show. Isn’t it amazing how we live in such a rich country that the conspicuous waste of jet fuel is actually entertainment?

  • Bigots Over Broadway

    Had just had lunch at El Nueva Buena Vista on Broadway and Ron was inside paying, I was outside waiting for him. A black woman in a car had just pulled out of a parking side on the side of the street. Evidently a taxi coming the other way almost hit her or she almost […]

  • Reminder: Saturday Chicago Gay Bloggers Meetup at Cocktail @ 4pm

    This will be fun.

  • Cooled Off a Bit

    Every morning I get up and say to myself, I’m not going to be surprised by how hot it is outside. And then I go outside. The past several days were just unreal. No wind, high humidity and soaring temperatures. Power outages on the south side and the bodies are starting to pile up. The […]

  • Gay Games VII in Chicago Opening Ceremonies

    The power meter on the laptop is a bit wonky. It says I have only 5% left when it had been charging all night while I continued backing my data offsite. It is taking days since I’m fitting 40GB through an FTP connection. But I’ll feel better once it is completed. Ron and I had […]

  • Andymatic 017 Gay Podcast

    Andymatic 017 Gay Podcast Dr. Eric from drericsblog.com and I work out the world’s problems.

  • Ron's Takedown

    As the weather gets warmer, intolerance seems to settle in like a humid mist. Ron and some friends were walking on Briar and someone woman passed them and said Fucking faggots. Ron laid in to her and told her that she’s in the wrong neighborhood to be making those kinds of remarks and told her […]

  • International Mister Leather 2006, Mick Powers, Reefer Madness

    (written last night, posted this morning) It has been a fun weekend. Last night Ron and I ended up throwing in my air conditioners and watching movies all day. We went to the gym in the morning (chest) and then had lunch at Ricebox and came home and broke out the power tools to install […]
