A buddy of mine at my retail gig was promoted to manage Ladies Departments on the first floor of the building as opposed to the second floor where all of the men’s departments are located. Although I miss this young man because he was one of my favorite sparring partners, I’m also happy for him … More Gay Giant
If you are on Facebook, I imagine you have seen the tests that claim they can correctly determine personal characteristics if you answer ten questions. I’ve seen tests to determine your favorite music, your age based on political views, etc. I see these surveys as a waste of time since they are designed to predict … More I’m Straight!
Near closing time at the store one night, a young man came into the shoe department. We developed a rapport pretty quickly as he was shopping. He told me he was celebrating his 35th birthday with his sister. He sat down after a few minutes of shopping telling me he was waiting for his sister … More Temporary True Love
Recently, a young girl I work with became very embarrassed because a customer had flirted with her.

When Ed and I lived in England, we enjoyed a few British package holidays which always resulted in fun times and great memories. We have always been warm weather types when going on vacation so we always ended up in sunny places. The hotels we stayed in usually provided rooms for the entire package groups … More Alabaster Crowd
Ed and I took our first cruise for our 15th Anniversary. Not only was it our first cruise, it was also our first “all gay” cruise. We traveled with two other couples who were best friends. It was early days in gay cruise business so the ship wasn’t particularly nice or up to date but … More 15th Anniversary
When I was a young pup my parents moved to a small town in Oklahoma where my dad had been recruited for a new job. Our first apartment was a block away from the only highway through town. I was a happy and precocious child who had great “Houdini” skills. My parents tried to contain … More Don’t Fence Me In
Last week at my retail gig I had a customer come in with her two teenage children. The kids were a handful and not showing the lady a lot of respect. Because she was having a bad day I treated her with extra respect and kept her laughing. When we got to the counter, I … More Proposal
