Later this morning, my roommate, his best friend, and a couple of Love Boat-style guest stars will be heading off on a four-night cruise to Mexico.
Me? I’m staying home. And doing my “homo alono” version of Risky Business.
For once, I’m more than happy to stay home. Not only does someone need to hold down the fort, I’m looking forward to taking care of my furry niece, Miss Ellie, while everyone else is off enjoying the dining and the wining. But no whining!
I’ve got four nights to myself, a puppy to spoil, some work to do, and an attitude to adjust. And after the past few weeks, I could probably use all four.
So while a few of my favorite people are off cruising to Mexico, I’ll be home here in Pasadena, hanging out with Miss Ellie, getting some actual work done, and hopefully getting my own little ship back on course.
Bon voyage, bitches. I’ll hold down the fort. Cya soon….
Keep calm and cruise on!

“I don’t think there is a guy that played more gay characters than I have done in my life.”
Antonio Banderas





There are times when solitude or at least at home alone with a pet are good for us and you obviously need that time - so indulge yourself - you obviously need the time alone so enjoy it and you too will be refreshed and Miss Ellie will enjoy your sole attention. I so enjoy your posts and look forward to many more.
Brian, Is that the same mini cruise to Mexico you did earlier this year? My brother and SIL are gearing up for their 60th wedding anniversary cruise in late September or so. Never done any cruising before, just the people cruising in dark clubs and 'other places' 😝🤨😯 Cheers DougT 🏴🇬🇧
