Texas Cuisine in England

When living in England, I had a wonderful landlady named Alison whom I used to call my English Mum (which she loved).  She was a very elegant woman with an accent that indicated a privileged upbringing.  She lived in a beautiful home that had originally been a carriage house in a quaint Norfolk coastal village … More Texas Cuisine in England

Bare Essentials

About 20 years ago, I decided it was time to deal with my body shyness.  My way of facing this issue head on was to join a nudist club.  The group I joined was strictly social – meaning hanky panky was cause for expulsion.  My first meeting was very stressful.  The members wore stick on … More Bare Essentials

Visiting Mr. Bation

Although seldom discussed, all of us experience strong natural urges that decrease, but don’t go away, as we age. Recently, Ed and I were watching television in separate rooms because our tastes in TV entertainment are radically different. I was watching one of my ghost hunting shows which I enjoy because they are so silly. … More Visiting Mr. Bation

Just For You

Usually I tend to be self-deprecating on my posts. However, when I went to elementary school in Duncan, OK, I was adorable. The tiny Catholic elementary school I went to was about a half a mile from our house. I used to walk back and forth to school experiencing new adventures every day. Like most … More Just For You

As time marches forward, those of us in long term happy relationships begin to have a new concern. While not often spoken about it’s a concern none the less.

On a busy Saturday, I was taking a break from selling shoes when business dropped off momentarily. I wasn’t really thinking about anything and was barely aware of the ambient noise around me. However, my ears perked up when I heard a man say: “Do you think these shoes are too gay?”.  I looked around … More Are These Too Gay?

Trunk of Junk

No surprise to many is the fact that men are very conscious of their genitalia. This is not a gay thing or a straight thing but a man thing. When I went to one of my early “gay” classes, I learned that within my world, men who were overly obsessed the the size of other … More Trunk of Junk

Killer Breasts

A woman made a comment recently that reminded me of a near death experience I had with a pair of monster breasts. I feel lucky to have survived. At this point in my life I am proud of the man I have become. I was born with gifts that are individual to me and one … More Killer Breasts

Sweet Breads

Spending my early days in Duncan, OK, I had a lot of experiences you can only get from a rural environment. The strongest lesson rural life taught me was that I’m a city guy. I remembered another lesson recently when one of Ed’s cousins generously sent us some homemade Portuguese sweetbreads. When in Duncan, my … More Sweet Breads
