You have to be fast around here. I'll try to find a clean shaven one soon.

It is so beautiful!  I can't believe how blue the water is in the picture.  I saw this and decided to research online in the images.  Of course the first thing I were many pictures of men in bathing suits grouped together with rainbow flags. It sounds like a great, accepting place for a gay family with a lot of things to see and do. Are you guys going skiing?  Thanks for the picture.   

Yeah, it's a very gay-friendly town. Lots of artistry and handcrafted items in the stores. And no, we aren't going skiing. Wrong time of year.

I believe he was talking about water skiing!

Couldn't get on site for a while. How's everyone doing? I had a nice long walk and did some tree pruning, and oh yeah, I wrote another 2100 words for a new story.    Talked to a friend from Toronto for a while and caught up with all the gossip. Covid has really screwed up everyone's social life, and there is a big new wave of it happening again... and monkeypox is making the rounds.   I think I'm going to watch more of season three of Locke and Key tonight. Have a great night, all!

Yeah it’s been very touch-and-go today.

We ate dinner at this Italian place called Marro's. It was definitely an original building, because the ceiling was tiled with tin, and it had a few spots of rust. (But was kept clean.) I noticed Max staring at a young man who was waiting on the next table, and had to give him a little kick under the table. When he gave me a hurt-puppy look, I gently prompted him, "It's okay to look..." "...But we don't stare at people." He finished with a serious nod. I ordered some tiramisu for him as an apology for the kicking, and I may have helped him clean the plate. 

In fairness, the server was a very handsome young lad, about 17 or 18 years old, dressed in the black shoes, slacks, and collared shirt common to many restaurants across the country. Though, the top button on the collar was undone, possibly due to the warm weather. His hair was dark blonde, curly, and cropped into a nice undercut, with a firm jaw and nose. His eyes may have been green, though the lighting was too poor to say that with certainty.

I should definitely have "The Talk" with Max soon.

Sorry! When someone says 'skiing', water sports are not the first thing that comes to mind!

Bucket?  Rude?   Only when someone is rustling from your herd. I won't mention names however.

Hi Page, With all that water you're not going water skiing?

What's the first thing that comes to your mind when someone says "water sports"?

That's a good idea, but I honestly thought you would have a few more years.  When I was growing up the talk was put off until the first real date for boys, and just before marriage for girls.  It was difficult for me as a teacher to teach sex education in school to twelve year old boys, but I got use to it.  The girls went to one of the female teachers which made it a whole lot easier for me.  I wish you the best of luck.

Hi Clo!  Unfortunately, I can't open your instagram links.  All I get are blank pages, so Drew won't be able to use the song on me.

Thanks, Terry.  Nowadays, it makes more sense to have the talk with kids when they hit puberty, or just before, so they know what to expect when their body starts changing. I don't think Max has reached that point yet, but it can't hurt to be prepared.

Sailing, rowing, surfing... even scuba diving comes to mind. But not water skiing. Seems absurd that someone had the idea to put pieces of wood on their feet so they could fly across the water at dangerous speeds. One might even call it insane.

One might even call an ambulance
