  • Windy City Rodeo

    Cowboys and such Been a nice easy going weekend. Went out briefly to Hamburger Marys last night, which recently expanded with a larger bar and a tiny dancefloor. The best part was that you can actually SEE folks there, and by that I mean there’s tasteful spots and an under-lit bar. Diverse crowd, music pounding,…

  • Balloons, Woody and Bears

    and I laughed like I always do and I cried, like I cry for you and balloon man blew up in my hand —Robyn Hitchcock The topic of balloons came up after dinner last night. Maybe you’ve been to BigBoysBalloons.com and you already know they specialize in big and unusual balloons. Everyone has their thing.…

  • At Camp

    Post river One of the best parts of the rafting trip was the group of 30 fellas. Perfect size to almost get to know everyone’s name as we randomly filled up boats, left wet butt prints on the bus seats on the way back to camp, and taunting our guides with innuendo over dinner. I’d…

  • So long

    Nursing drinks at One Mo Cup It’s been so long since I’ve hung out with the Chad, Jim and Kevin. Man how time flies and man how I’ve missed seeing these fellas—friends from long before the ol’ bloggin world. They seem to have left a few of their bad habits behind and replaced them with…

  • My Anus is bleeding

    Found this message on a telephone pole next to the parade route. I went up north to Columbus to catch the Pride festivities in Columbus (somebody stop me from repeating myself). It was the biggest thing like that I’ve ever been to—and the folks, for the most part, looked so… …. …normal. It was nice…

  • Camp Buckwood

    4 Seasons Lodge Just back from two days out at Camp Buckwood in Indiana. A friend suggested the last minute affair, noting the fine weather and summer solstice. Good enough reasons for celebration. Although the campgrounds were relatively empty, it offered a good way to get to know the facilities. An outdoor pool, hot tub,…

  • Cachorro (Bear Cub)

    Late to the game, but didn’t miss the party This might not be the best movie to plop in the DVD player with grandma hanging about, depending of course how she takes to hairy men getting downright passionate with their naked selves. But after the veneer of gay is peeled away, dag—nice flick. There was…

  • Cincinnati Pride Parade

    The day, yesterday Chris: We’re pushed for time, can you sum it up in a word? Spartacus Mills: No. Chris: A sound? Spartacus: Woouueerrrr. Chris: Spartacus, thank you.

  • Pride begins

    WOOF! Pride begins in Cincinnati with Drag Races. I’ve never gone before so I didn’t know what to expect. I stepped outside right before meeting up with Mark and realized I wore the wrong shirt. It was a hairdryer outside. My flopsweat created blotches resembling Australia and surrounding islands. Anywho, the drag races sucked. Seems…

    It was great, I’ll write more later The city, parks, flowers and bears… (Colors adjusted on whim)
