Tough day today.
My older brother is entering hospice care after deciding against yet another surgery. He’s done letting the medical system abuse him and his time on earth is very close to ending.
Driving to the Colorado mountains to see him and perhaps say goodbye.
Today I’m 58. I don’t feel 58. Even though there is dirt older than I am.
You may commence with filling my timeline with suckupathonian posts and my DM’s with “special” pictures. I will allow it.
Seriously. Thank you. My friends here make a huge difference. Love you all.
In a surprising turn of events my Brother has decided that maybe just one more surgery would be worth it.
Odds aren’t great he survives this. But it’s his decision and I respect it.
Headed back down the mountain to a large Denver hospital.
Not the day I expected.
Let’s not drag Chris for being worried about his fur babies. I’d be in the same state of mind. My 4 buddies are so important to me.
Ease up on Chris. Being sensitive is not weakness.

This is my friend Dani. Who has cut my hair and shaped my beard for the last ten years.
Dani had a heart attack and passed away. Alone on her kitchen floor.
She leaves behind 2 beautiful daughters at the age of 46.
I don’t have words to express how this has hit me.

Gramps put foil wrapped food in his microwave in his motor home. and it blew up. lol. Nice.

Between her and Marge and Lauren you guys are winning. Add in some Gym Jordan and Mikey J and you’ve really outdone yourselves.

It’s my Birthday. 57 looks pretty good for a dude older than some dirt.
I’d love you to send me a favorite gif in honor of this highly non-momentous occasion.
One last post.
This is Ivy. I’m going to call her Lyla. She’s gonna come live with me until she finds a forever home. Or maybe I just keep her. She has 3 legs. And she’s perhaps the smartest Pitty I’ve ever met. She’s 10 months old. And will never have any bad days.
Say Hi.
My 24 hour Brisket is done.
Used the method the famous Goldie’s uses. It’s so tender it can hardly be sliced. The bark is this incredible, thick not to tough consistency. The taste is unreal.
Man can cook!
The rundown…
Becca/Austin: Fun Nerds. Her health will be hard. Lots of love.
Lauren/Orion: Both Gay. Good buddies.
Emily/Brennen: If she decides to be happy this could work.
Claire and Cameron: He’s weird. She’s direct. Trouble.

I’ve been shoveling snow for 2 days. Did my place and two of the neighbors’ places. Cleared a bunch of cars.
A year ago, there’s no way my body would have been able to handle it. At all.
I’m 58 in ten days. And in better shape than I have been in 20 years.
Please send thoughts and beams and prayers for my Brother Bill. He had a series of small strokes and is currently in hospital after being flown to Denver in a chopper.
He’s a good dude and I hate to see him struggling.
Thanks!
Gotcha Day Anniversary.
(Not an April Fools Joke)
A year ago today I met this little pitbull at a local shelter. Her owners moved and left her behind.
It took 6 months for her to come out of her shell. To trust again. Even now every time I come home she greets me as if to

In Thai Massage and Māori Massage this technique is used to develop a pelvic alignment said to be better for pregnancy. They didn’t show the whole thing but eventually there is a kind of chiropractic adjustment of the pelvic angle.
Thai’s swear by this.
And finished. The amazing Melanie Steinway outdid herself. Worth the wait. And adds even more meaning to an already meaningful piece. Meet the Warrior Bear.

This is my buddy Waldo. He’s almost 13 and the last few days he’s pretty much lost control of his limbs and has had several events like seizures.
Vet is coming over and it may be time to let him cross over.
Say a prayer. Send beams. Post a pet pic. Could use the lift
Today is my 56th Birthday. I don’t feel 56. I might look it. Would you join me in celebrating? It would be cool to see this get more likes than my usual posts. Thanks for being amazing!
Was able to visit my Brother tonight. They are set to do surgery tomorrow. He’s in good spirits and told me that if this doesn’t work then he’d like to be done with the doctors.
We held hands and laughed and told some stories about our Mom.
Whatever the next days bring is ok.
What does a 50-something recently turned hot silver fox do on a Friday night?
Snuggie. Two pitbulls on each side. An electrolyte drink. Sweet potato and polenta soup. A sip of mezcal. And the Great British Baking Show.
Follow me for old guy Friday ideas.
I was supposed to go to a happy hour thing tonight. And my ADHD has me thinking no one wants to be around me. I’m tired. I don’t feel like drinking. I don’t eat much anymore.
So it’s me and the dogs and cats and YouTube tonight.
You feel me?

This is in California where lane splitting is legal.
Having said that, it’s pretty clear the biker panic pulled his front brake and dumped it. Since we can’t see directly in front we don’t see the whole story.
Bad motorcycle riding gets you hurt.

I came of age in the 80’s so big hair was the thing. And still a turn on.
But THE MOST important thing is how one feels about one’s body. What’s best is what resonates there. And as a man, I don’t get to tell her what to do with ANY part of her.
@morgonnm
Wow. I was there not long ago. There were plenty of single gender restrooms. You aren’t being forced into anything.
Maybe try not to seek so much attention.
@greeneyed_meg
I don’t see it this way.
MILF isn’t an age reference. Moms come in all ages. They are usually not on the hunt, but spotted in the wild.
GILF in reference to Grandmas who are hot. Same story.
Cougar is usually single (or acting that way) and in hot pursuit of younger men.
This is my older brother, Bill. He had series of small strokes and the docs are trying to sort it all out.
He’s older than me. The best guitar maker and sound tech I have ever seen.
Thoughts. Prayers. Beams. Whatever you can offer up. He’s confused and scared.
A friend works for a transportation company here in Denver. Very high end.
Denver Comic Con is in town and their company was short handed for drivers. So I put on the Chauffeur’s outfit and drove a very famous person. (Can’t say who, of course).

I debated on posting this because I don’t want a pity party, I mean I do, but I also don’t. More so, normalize it being ok to show men crying while hurting inside. I’ll be ok, I’m not right now, but that’s ok. There’s many ways to “be a man” and this is one of them. 🙏🏻❤️
6/ “You, sir, are a weak person. And instead of bullying you or simply beating your ass, I offered you a way out. You didn’t offer that nerdy kid a way out. In life, you best make better choices for those who may be less than you. Like I did.”
Lesson over. 7th grader didn’t die.
@DoctorViviana
This logic makes no sense to me. You simply ask her to leave. You don’t taze her or commit her to a 72 hour evaluation. You simply get her away from the people she is hurting. This is a bad take.
We’ve been sharing pictures today. Of our beauty and handsome. Our favorites. Etc.
Today one of my 7th grade students who is always in trouble gave me this.
It is now my favorite. ❤️
Dogs often name themselves…
While Kalisto looked good on paper and in spirit.
This is now Cosmo Kramer. It’s fully who he is. A total comedian. And doesn’t know it.
