What are the fans up to?

I'm sitting on my patio while Bill finishes up with the chicken wings he smoked on the grill this evening. I'm contemplating what beverage to enjoy with dinner. Oh, the pressure! Lol!

We are making homemade pizza. What did you decide was the perfect beverage for wings?

We had Upslope Pale Ale. It was perfect! The wings were nice and smoky, still juicy and spicy! So good! Bill is talented with the BBQ!

How was your pizza? Do you ever cook it on the grill?

The pizza was okay. I like a lot of veggies on mine, but the little man is not so adventurous. We do make them on the grill, but not this one.

Have the day off tomorrow so I'm drinking my favorite martini(s) and catching up on all this Broke Straight Boys stuff! I have to say, I get much more loose tongued when I'm drinking and foruming than when I'm not drinking! I guess that's typical. Tomorrow I'll be planning my treat for the Broke Straight Boys crew here in Denver.

Colin, I wish you were travelling to Denver for Pride! I'd love to meet you!

BTW, do you have plans to expand your family any time soon? As you said, you have a son who is 2 1/2. Often, that's about the time couples start thinking about kiddo #2....

I wish I was coming to pride in denver! Would be amazing to meet you!

 

[lovelumps]

Next time....

I wish I was coming to pride in denver! Would be amazing to meet you!

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you come to Denver next year! I would love to meet you!

I've completed all my chores real early to watch the European quarter final where England played Italy - and lost.

Should have gone to Specsavers - English joke

i am enjoying the new way to search for performers by name and scenes by type and activity so much that i feel the way i did the first time i got behind the wheel of my car.
let's find an open highway and see what this baby can do.
to every question of 'can it do this?' came the answer, 'yes & well".
so what i have been doing it finding how easy i can move to between and within the sites.
i am adding blumedia, Broke Straight Boys, mark, webmonkey, clay, chad, jason, denver, spencer, blake and colin to my list of thing i am glad i know exist.
giving thanks take a long time, when you have much to be thankful for.

speaking of prides. next month is san diego pride.

I spent the evening at our neighborhood pool, listening to a local band and drinking my deadly margaritas with my closest and dearest. I'm now sitting on my back porch contemplating all the tomatoes and cucumbers and melons and peppers we will be enjoying later this summer. It's been too damn hot so far this season. Colorado is ablaze. Wildfires are burning acre upon acre of our beautiful landscape. I am hopeful that we get some rain soon. But it looks like our next break in the heat is next week, so I fear we will lose much in the next 10 days. :-(

I should be in bed! LOL

Hey Colin,
If you have some time and want to help out, come on out to Market Street in San Francisco behind the Raley Shopping center around 6pm and help out feeding the homeless and the runaways. I'm there with Fr River handing out box lunches of rice and beans on Tuesdays. We also go to the Haight on Fridays and Polk street on Thursday. We handout food from 6pm to 9pm. We also handout condoms, clean needles, socks and blankets. A lot of people we serve are young gay teens who left home and are living on the streets of San Francisco.

That's very commendable of you Angel - that's probably why you've chosen your screen name. Well done and thanks.

Hey dude that would be great! Do you do it every Saturday?

That is really great work that you do Angelone. After reading your post, I watched a feature on Yankee HOPE week, where they feature folks who are in need, or to honor those who do good things, and they had a feature on "The Angel of Queens", a laid off NYC bus driver who cooks in his own kitchen, and donates hot meals to over 140 homeless or hungry New Yorkers on a street corner in Queens every day of the year.

The Yankees sent some players to his house to help out, and donated $10,000 to his cause.

Hi Colin, I think I read somewhere you have two cats and two dogs so I thought you might enjoy hearing about what I did yesterday.

There is an animal sanctuary not far from where I live that's run by a very dedicated young couple from their own funds. The sanctuary is home to literally hundreds of unwanted and abandoned animals of all varieties, from guinea pigs (I think US folk call them Cavies?) to massive bulls and everything in between.

Sadly the wife half of the couple has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, so I decided to volunteer one a day a week to help out with the animal care. Being there is very bittersweet, as I love being around animals but knowing she saved everyone of them from certain death and is now facing death herself is heartbreaking.

Yesterday was bleak, cold and windy and later on in the afternoon I was by myself at the sanctuary and I thought I check on Princess the pregnant pig before I left for the day. She was happily lolling around in the mud, so I knelt down to give her a goodbye pat and a rooster pecked me on the back of my neck! A peck on the back of my neck from a rooster was the last thing I was expecting and fair dinkum, I thought the Vampires had come to get me...lol When it comes to Vampires I have a vivid imagination.

The few times I've been frightened half to death I instinctively hit the ground, only yesterday it was a case of landing face down in the mud! I'm not sure who was muddier, Princess or me, although I could definitely see the funny side of the situation

Just thought I'd share the laugh.

Jeez Grace that's funny but kudos to you for helping out at the sanctuary. xx
