Wednesday night I realized this week had passed so, I left for my short trip upstate Thursday afternoon. I had planned to return on Saturday but, I got home earlier. I got rid of a mountain bike I had sitting around here. I gave to my friend “C” who was thrilled to get it. I was thrilled to see him. He got his cataracts removed and he can see again. His guitar playing, all self taught including reading sheet music, is proceeding well. His chordings are very nice. Anyway, seeing him is always special. I don’t normally talk about my personal relationships here but this is one man that I became friends with back in 1989 after two years of trying. I could say something about what he used to look like, but he hasn’t aged well. His body is still slim and sexy but his face is haggard. He’s about 12 years my junior, two sons, and a bitch of an ex-wife. He’s struggled with his sexuality but, in the past few years I guess he realizes that I am somebody special in his life. Any man that claims (at the time of his initial disclosure) that he dreams of you, that’s powerful. I had dreamt of him, often.
Anyway, after he practiced guitar, and I got a motel room for the night, I picked him up for some private time. I’m mentioning this because of my attraction and involvement with bi men since the early 80s. When we first met he was very standoffish. Last night, he crawled into my bed and kissed me open mouthed. It’s not the first time but it still amazes me that he does. Of course, when he told me about dreaming of me, he also said I’m the only man he enjoys sex with. I’m really, really glad it has lasted all these years. He is special.
No, that’s not all I did on my trip. I went on another short canoe trip but there was so much ‘water lettuce’ and ‘Spirodela polyrhiza, giant duckweed’ that canoing was more work than I wanted to do today. I took a few pics and will share them over the next few postings. Maybe I should include some taken last October as well, since they were in the exact same location and during the same time of day. I should have, but didn’t, take pics of the white water lilies that were in bloom. 🙁
The person manning the county location was very handsome. We stood there eyeing each other before I said, “You look familar. How long have you worked for the county?” I told him I worked for the county too, back in 1976 with Roger (now in charge of a dept.) whom he knows. He gave me a price break and said I could try out the kayaks without charge, if I wanted. *wink*
