Chicagoland Leatherman, one of Tom's Men (BLUF 526). I play the organ (seriously 🎹), I’m a Cat Dad, and I follow politics a bit too much, maybe. Also, find me on IG: bluf_526. 🏳️‍🌈 (I block and report BOTS…)

A commercial came on TV and I wasn’t paying attn/ looking at it, and I SWEAR I kept hearing the word “f@ggot”! WHAT?! Turns out they were saying “rack it” … it was a commercial for Nordstrom. Haha

I JUST switched to evil Internet co. ‘A’ bc slightly less evil Internet co. ‘B’ kept raising my rates & evil Internet company ‘A’ had a GOOD 5 yr offer. Well, I call to cancel ‘B’ & they gave me the same offer but “FOR LIFE.” OK, sold! So now I have to cancel ‘A’ after ‘B’ switches the wires back! 🤪

Ok, I just finished the last season of Traitors UK, and if I were Stephen I would have totally voted her out at the end. After all, if the shoe were on the other foot, she would have done the same. #traitorsuk

OMG, this (older polish) man at my Panera has a “The Lure” T-Shirt on, complete with a boot print on the back, and I asked him where he got it… he said some second hand store. He doesn’t know what it is, just likes the “cut” … which is sleeveless gay cut! lol

Chicago is the only city that I’ve lived in where they tear up a chunk of the street for no reason, and then leave it unpaved for months on end!!

If I still lived in DC, I TOTALLY would have gone over to the Kennedy Center! This was the type of event that I LOVED about living in DC … ppl from all walks of life coming together to celebrate and/or protest something that unites us.

There’s an OTA station called “Busted” that has “Parking Wars” on all afternoon. I loved watching this show when it was first on! Fun Fact, I once saw the “hairspray” PPA lady out in the wild the one time I was visiting Philly.

Watching The Princess Bride since I’m off today, and I’ve always had a crush on Carey Elwes in this movie!! Was it the dashingly good looks, the blonde hair, or the nice black leather Gauntlet gloves and boots? Hmmm, can’t decide …

Getting off my flight at MDW I see a bunch of old people lined up in wheel chairs and more ppl in the waiting area. “Where’s this plane going? Florida?!” YEP! Tampa! 😆

Still getting email “news” updates from the DC DMV. I never read them, and should probably unsubscribe at some point I haven’t lived there for 7 yrs now. Oh look, a squirrel!

I highly recommend “How to get to Heaven from Belfast” on N—-X. It just kept getting better as the episodes progressed and I showed great restraint by only watching one episode at a time! 🙃

TIL about George Benson, who was the original singer to Whitney’s cover of the Greatest Love of All! Here’s George singing it on Sesame Street.

What the heck man?! @pluto.tv constantly BLIPS at the most inopportune time while watching TPIR! Like right when they reveal if the contestant won the game. It’s almost intentional at this point …

I can imagine they’re like this at home too… but these two older dudes at this pub are BOTH engrossed in their phones and BOTH wearing earbuds browsing IG or whatever and laughing OUT LOUD at whatever they’re watching! GO HOME with this shit …

I kinda and I kinda DON’T want to do Pride North, I’ve been up since 6:30 and at work all morning. Plus one set of friends already bailed, and another is going to take a nap first. If I take a nap, I’m not going back out!
