It’s Tuesday in Boston. There is stiff competition betwen incumbent Mayor Menino (seeking a fourth term) and Maura Hennigan. Both are liberal, both are pro gay-marriage, both have roots in Boston’s city council. So, we all know what this means:<\/P>

It means that Macy’s is having their big Election Day sale! So get out early and vote for your favorite shirt!<\/P>

In other news, I was reading Bay Windows (newspaper) this morning and found the gay football league listings. I never noticed before – but they’ve got the funniest team names: Blueberry Studmuffins, Tinsel Terrors, Lady Marmalades, Gang Green, Maroon with a View, Bloody Mary’s, Navy Blue Ballers and my favorite: the Tighty Whitey Bulgers*. Leave it to the gays to come up with such clever names.<\/P>

So, I shocked myself last night. I had planned to come home, eat dinner, shave and go to bed at a reasonable hour. Instead, I was lured to my computer and ended up chatting with this guy I’ve been chatting with for months. Normally, we would just exchange emails or instant message for a few minutes. Somehow, we chatted for over 3 hours straight (with webcam, of course). No, people – everything was clean. Our clothes remained on all at times…I just like seeing who I’m communicating with.<\/P>
\n

Anyway, I’ve not chatted like that with somebody in ages. By the time we signed off after 10:30 PM I was exhausted. Of course, I never ended up shaving so I look like Grizzly Adams this morning. To make up for it, I decided to “dress up” for work today in black dress pants and a button down shirt…tucked in, no less! Still, I don’t think playing dress up really conceals the fact that I’ve not shaved in 10 days. As George W. Bush so eloquently said: “Fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me…you can’t get fooled again.”  Well, the more I think of it, I suspect good ole’ G.W. might be fooled my my cover-up…but likely nobody else.<\/P>

*for those of you non-Bostonians, Whitey Bulger is on the FBI’s top ten list of fugitives and originally from South Boston. The fact that he has a gay football named after him…and that you can take the sexual innuendo inherent in his last name and mix it with an underwear reference I find quite clever.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
