Splish splash…

So Mike has been in town and yesterday he, I, his friend Karen, and Lolita took ourselves off to five hours of liquid satisfaction at Spa Castle. Bliss is a well placed jet of water. If you’re a New York resident or planning a visit, make your host take you there: it’s like a civilized… Continue Reading

Hooray for Visitors…

Pop culture knows what I want…

These days, there are two billboard images that give me that special warm feeling down below to the point that I’ve bean developing a couple of crushlets. Firstly, I’m not much into medical play, but I’ve been hypnotized by the above picture of sneering butch medi-dommme Edie Falco in her new series. Since I don’t… Continue Reading

I’ve been filing…

…like someone who likes to file. It took almost two months, but I’ve managed to get my work desk from this to the state you see above. And that doesn’t mean that I just shoved the stacks off camera, either: with some stellar assistance from someone here in the office, I’ve managed to break the… Continue Reading

What he could not… Continue Reading

Softee is as Softee does…

So yesterday Thor came over to help me contend with the forces of It-which-must-not-be-named (the laundry), which caused us to have many trips into the sunshine of my neighborhood. He was a valiant Wash Warrior. And then, at the very moment that we were bringing in the last folded loads, we heard the tinkle of… Continue Reading

The back of Gary Wills’ head…

Another year, and another graduation at Bard. As the chair of my program, it’s my responsibility to read out the names of the students who are graduating from my program, so that they can walk on to the stage and receive their handshake and diploma from the the president of the college. It’s a corny… Continue Reading

I’m not a wedding photographer…

But someplace up in the great white north this fantastic pair of people have just now tied the broom, or jumped the knot, or rumpled the chuppa or whatever. I couldn’t make it there to wish them my best in person, but if I had been there I would have raised a glass and said:… Continue Reading

Graduation Day…

Time to head upstate to Bard and get my robe on! Tags: bard, daily photo, graduation, icp
