You’re a bad man. You’re a very bad man!

Irreverent, independent, and often snarky partnered married gay boomer and doggie dad who is tired of moral pontification by hypocritical conservative assholes and hate filled religious bigots.
This blog is NSFW and intended for adults only.


It may contain unapologetically liberal diatribes and photos of naked men, either alone or together, doing things that may cause inexplicable erections among certain sanctimonious anti-gay Republican congressmen. In addition to my personal photography, images displayed here have been pulled from the internet.

















































I miss Tower Records (Market Street, too close to the gym I used to go to, and they were open into the evening), but it was sort of a bad habit when the store was open. Now I have many, many CD’s that I don’t get to hear because of the time of day that I finally get home from work.
So sad, so sad…
I miss that Tower Records! Rooftop parking was horrific but worth the hassle. Used to go to the Columbus store until Market Street opened. I spent so much money there over the years!
I lived in Sacramento during the 70s and 80s.
I remember Tower of Records, Tower of Books, Tower of Shoes, and I think there was a Tower of Clothes.
Loved those stores.
I also liked going to video stores. In the 90s, I lived in Oak Lawn, Dallas, Texas. Down the street from me was a Blockbuster, and on the gay strip was a gay video store. I would go in there on a Friday night and browse the gay selection. Yes, they had a pron section. That never really interested me. If I couldn’t find a gay movie or any of the mainstream choices, I would venture a few blocks over and see what Blockbuster had to offer.
I remember the others. I did visit Circuit City after Best Buy. I wasn’t a Sears man, but I did go to Mervin’s a lot.
