Great pictures, Will. It looks like you enjoyed the trip. Hope you have a great year in school.

Bad vibes

No complaints. Growing old sure beats the alternative.

You never know where you will see something that amuses you. While looking up a phone number in the local directory, I noticed one page with the alphabetic index at the top reading "HOT-HUNG".

Just who are you calling "young"?

Head wiseass

Air pollution

Pants afire

Wait for me, James! It appears the only interest in the cruise comes from a couple of gals in their 40s.

Bummer, Eric. I hope you got the Microshaft software at the student discount price. Even then, it's still overpriced.

Buckle down

Guys, still unsure of your sexuality? Here's a unique opportunity for you to satisfy your curiosity with experienced women. It's the Cougar Cruise.

It's here. We learn a little more about David...who he was. Casey is reminded of him and nearly has a meltdown. There is still more for us to learn. Very good chapter, Camilo. Now it's on to the great north woods. I'm expecting Casey and Lucas' relationship to improve.

Actually, the banner reads "GA Gay Authors - Quality Gay Fiction". The implication is that this is a site where readers will find both gay fiction and works by gay authors. Lest we quibble over semantics, I should add that there is a need for both to be published and neither need preclude the other. If an established gay author wants to write a story about personal relationships that he feels would entertain and enlighten his audience and not include any gay sex scenes in the story or even identify any of the characters as being gay, he should not be required to seek another outlet for his work. If the work is well done and appeals to the readers, it will stand on its own merits even in the absence of any bedroom romps. If someone desires detailed descriptions of sexual acts, there are other sites which cater to those needs. I would expect that, if an author began posting lengthy, straight sex pulp fiction, or anything of no interest to GA's audience, the administration would counsel the author about his offerings.

I would guess (and it is a guess) that some gay men think that the essence of being gay is the feminine aspect. If you are gay, then you are not a man and should not pretend to be one. Effeminate behavior plays directly to the stereotype that most straights - especially the bashers and haters - have of gays. The majority of gays are masculine and have no doubts about their masculinity. For what it's worth, straights are more likely to accept masculine gays. For the flashy, flamboyant, effeminate gays who wear dresses, the word drag really is appropriate...they are a drag on the gay movement. Please don't misunderstand me. Effeminate gays must be accepted by "straight acting" gays. Otherwise we have no right to expect acceptance for anyone.

Gee, Vic, you must have to go to bed at what? 7 p.m.? If your running buddy does introduce you to his gay friend, you won't be available for a date. You'll have to give up running and gain 30 pounds. Then where will you be?
