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…)

Ah! One of the last beach days for Chicago Gheys … seeing lots of guys coming home tonight! I don’t fare well in the heat, so I welcome our Autumn overlords! 🍂

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

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! 🙃

Almost forgot … today marks the 7th anniversary of my Cat and I making the cross country trip from DC to my new home in Chicago. (Ohio and Indiana are FLAT and BORING!!) How time flies … 🙃

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 …
