Just Me

Random and inconsistent postings of an aging gay guy...

'But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues' ...well maybe... Another day in the 90's in the #pnw, so @thenitsud thought a fun way to beat the heat indoors would be to see what my hair would look like darker. It's not permanent, but it'll be around for a bit. #summer #sunnyday #hotweather #newcolorforsummer #fiftyshadesofbrown

'Love won today', that's what they say. I didn't celebrate or march. I attended my final meeting for the school year and then spent the afternoon with @thenitsud trying to prepare for the onslaught of heat that is arriving. And then tonight, as I walk back toward the house from watering some plants I see these glowing orbs in the birdbath and I smiled, because you know what? Love Won Today! #lovewontoday #history #pride #finally #gaybear #happyman #greatday

Happy Pump Day! Heading into a day full of meetings, and anticipating boredom, tension, frustration and overall 'blah-ness' I decided to give myself a@little hump day boost. I like to think of it as the workplace equivalent of a mullet. 'Business up above, Party down below. Happy Hump Day Everyone! #wednesday #jockstrap #pump! #jocks #feeiinggood #workplacemullet #notvictoriassecret #gaybear #gayjock #scruff

Today I turn 45, but I don't look a day over 60! (I've actually received and been offered Senior discounts at the grocery store!) Regardless of others unfortunate judgement, I have decided that for once in my life I would celebrate myself publicly. Feel free to fill my DM with any Inappropriate birthday wishes, images, suggestions or gestures you think would make this birthday 'boy' smile! #birthdayboy #birthday #beardedhomo #novaginas! #scruff #oldman #oldbear #beardedbear #daddy #graybeard

I was helping set out books for children to choose from at a curriculum night and I came across this gem. All I could think about was the budding little queer boy who's going to see this book, squeal inside (and maybe a little outside too), clutch it to his chest and just smile.... #queeryouth #gaykid #literacy #kids #disco #fairies #reading

I'm wondering if the secret is that the door is in the back... Victoria isn't the only one with a dirty little secret... #barbie #literacy #kids #secrets #backdoorlove

Easing into the weekend by listening to the rain while enjoying a cup of coffee in the hot tub. #pnw #saturday #relaxation #mothernature #morning #weekend

So I was looking for some thank you cards and I see this. At first I think, 'Wow, that a very niche market.' And then I think, 'Wait! How F@$&ing bad does your diarrhea have to be or for how long have you had to endure it that a card of caring is warranted?!?! (And if you someone that well...no need for a card. A simple 'You must feel awful' should do) #hersheysquirts #brownriver #pissingoutmyass #icareaboutyou #friends #tmi #toomuch

A beautiful Saturday...everyone is out and about trying to figure how to enjoy the sunshine and warm weather! #pnw #sunnyday #olympia #springiscomingorhere (at Percival Landing)

Stopping off after enjoying an afternoon of sunshine in the pacific northwest with @thedustinhunter (at Viva Tacoma - Vegan Cuisine)

Caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror today and realized my hair looked a bit taller than I recall when getting ready, so I thought I'd just check. Nearly 3 inches! #jackittojesus #thehigherthehairtheclosertogod #gaydo

Doing a post-gym jaunt through Safeway with @thedustinhunter when I rounded the frozen food aisle this caught my eye. I actually did a double take! I thought, surely I am reading this wrong. But alas I can only come up with a one way to say this Docktor's name and I could not believe he was making a kids product. I wondered if I was the only one who saw the irony in this. And then I wondered if this man's teenage years were just a living hell! #kids #irony #frozenfoods #obgyn

One of the benefits of my driving to work is that sometimes I get to travel this road. I have always enjoyed how it draws your eye right down to the water of the Puget Sound. #pnw #drive #commute

Today's cardio was brought today by a third day of sunshine, the desire for most pnw'ers to get out of the house in the winter, and what some would say an unhealthy need/love for a freshly cut lawn! #pnw #mothernature #yardwork #naturalcardio
