Random musings and a picture into my world. You might see recipes one day, hockey stats the next, and even my top ten Hollywood heart throbs the following day. It all depends on my mood and what's going on in my noggin at the time. Typically SFW, but occasionally NSFW. You will definitely see photos of animals, friends, and places I've visited. Sit down and pour yourself a cuppa ... enjoy!

Dating as a Mature Gay Man
Dating as a mature gay man (over 60) is a crapshoot at best. There are so many “dating” apps out there, but let’s be realistic - they are more for hooking up and one-night stands than for finding a meaningful relationship. I’m not opposed to a little fun along the way, but more often than not, those types of encounters leave me feeling empty and a little bit sad.
I met a guy on one of the apps a few months ago. Our circles had intersected over the years, it this was the first time we’d ever met. I didn’t detect any real interest, so I thought “that’s okay, at least I have a new friend.”
Today, I decided to take a bold step and messaged him that I thought we should go out on a date.
Crickets.
I’m trying to not let it get me down, but I have to be honest - this hurts.
