This was hard to do, especially since I forced myself to limit to just one album per artist. Might have to make another for the next 9 albums in my list.

My 9 albums. From top to bottom, left to right: Rhythm Nation, True Blue, Little Earthquakes, Funk Divas, Daydream, Light Years, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Jagged Little Pill, The Sign

Number one reason why I hate going into the basement of our 120+ year old farm house....🐍

A large snake skin on a dirt floor in an old farm house basement. The snake skin is most likely from a common black snake.

This actually hurts and has me choked up. I saw her multiple times in concert and she was every bit as sweet and wonderful as you'd hope when I met her 😭

Started my vacation off with a bang by seeing Tori for a fourth time this tour! I'm in Boston for the night, headed to Ptown tomorrow. Tori was here playing a show three blocks from my hotel so I got a last minute ticket! Did I sob when she played Cooling? Maaaaaybe 😭

I saw Tori last night for a third and final time on this tour! Another great show and setlist! Very happy with all three shows I saw this year.

"Coming back to Wolf Trap is always extra special, bringing back memories of sitting on the lawn watching the likes of Roberta Flack wondering what it would be like to sit in the pavilion. Well never did get to sit there, bypassing it to straight to the stage. Never give up on your dreams. hugs t"

I saw The Odyssey last night. Holy shit. I cannot stop thinking about it. It's absolutely amazing. Go see it on the biggest screen you can. I saw it on a regular screen and am already planning when I can go see it again in IMAX. Very curious to see what @ptklein.com thinks of it.

This week starts a six week run where I have at least one fun thing to look forward to each week. Seeing the Odyssey this week, @toriamos.bsky.social in VA next week, Tori in PA the following week. Then Ptown for a week, a bachelor party weekend following that, then CDMX with friends the following!

Happy national puppy day from Gizmo and Lady!

Gizmo on the day I adopted him in 2013. Gizmo is a Shepard mix and as a puppy his ears were too big for his head

Had an awesome weekend in NYC with good friends. Got to go see the closing bell from the floor of the NYSE, went to a new to me museum, and last night while out was able to prove some of my worst self-doubt wrong. Now if I can just stop meeting and having amazing intense chemistry with married men

At age 20, after a semester abroad in Spain, I returned home and was diagnosed w/ testicular cancer. When the infected testicle was removed a few days later it weighed nearly 2 lbs, the largest ever removed at that hospital. Yes 2 lbs, the size of a large cantaloupe. I ignored the growth for months🤷🏻‍♂️

I've spent the last few years living in the country, helping take care of aging parents, so my connection to gays and the community are few and far between. Dad passing last year put into perspective how this was the right decision, knowing I won't regret all the time I'm spending with mom now (1/2)
