Today is the last day of Pride month As part of competing in IMLBB you prepare to possibly give a 90 second speech from the stage that's streamed worldwide I didn't get the chance, placing 27th (7 short) I wan't going to publish this, but decided it says things MANY people need to hear during Pride

I can barely start to express what a whirlwind it has been since last April when I got the title Mr Fireside Daddy 2025. Thanks to Eric, Jerry, and the folks in Mobile who let me make this title a “make your own adventure”. I got to spread the word that Mobile has things going from the IMLBB stage

Out for a day at the beach. The good thing about the overcast is it was actually pleasant at the pavilion at the harbor. Gulf Coast Pride caught a break because you can actually enjoy the event

IMLBB Class 48 It was an amazing experience. I met some men that will probably be in my life long-term. It was cloyingly, sickeningly, wholesome, & good spirited 😈 The structure insured you were kept busy but not pressured. The class truly was people you would want to hang out with. No Prima Donnas

OK kids. I have one statement to make on all the noise about @Honey Davenport THE PROCESS WORKS. Trust it and move forward with grace. This is my opinion and not a discussion. I came in to IMLBB 48 as a competitor with some broad ideas of who I thought could do the job well. 1/6

Good morning Chicago. I got in late last night, unpacked & sorted stuff. I got very lucky to get a low floor, large room, that looks out onto the lake and Grant Park. Y’all are sending really good juju my way. Thanks. The adventure is beginning. A fair number of classmates are trickling in

This promises to be a fun evening. Two Daddies get to run the circus. Y’all know how proper and respectable events in New Orleans are. A charity leather auction will take place, offering a fantastic opportunity to pick up new to you & new gear. There is no substitute for pre-loved gear with a past.

I just gave himself a nice birthday gift. I snagged front row center right seats & the meet up/photo op for the Lucy Darling show June 5 in New Orleans. It looks like playing the hunger games for Fist Fest tickets may have sharpened my skills to get in early and get it done.

Pro tip for D&D heads just getting started: you can cut up your worthless magic cards to make moveable tokens with cool fantasy art on them to use on your maps

Wish me luck. I just finished at the dermatologist. He decided to treat a patch of discolored skin I have been asking him about for 15 years. Let’s hope things go well. I trust the guy. He is an oncology specialist and plastic surgeon who works dermatology.

I am being punished. I decided to run out to a bar (Al’s on 5th) in Birmingham AL because I have a memorial service for a family friend about an hour north of here tomorrow and decided to overnight here instead of driving up and back in one day. Of course there is a bachelorette party.

Mercy! Have mercy on us. The pine trees ejaculated overnight with the extreme cold (22°F) The pine pollen itself is not usually a problem for people. It is so heavy it falls quickly. The problem is in a week to 10 days when those pollen grains start growing mold. ACK!

Gentle reminder that if you worry you're not doing enough, it's not because you aren't. It's because there's too much to do for only one person to bear. You'll never be able to do it all and do it alone. Whatever you can, whenever you can, with whatever you have is always the correct amount.
