NEW NAKED GYM GUY BOUNDARIES UPDATE, 2026

gym guy

 

You have boundaries; naked gym guy needs boundaries. 
Who sets the boundaries?
Two normal people join a gym: one of them works out and goes home, the other works out and showers at the gym.
Then it breaks down further.
Two people shower at the gym: sweaty guys and those who like to shower with sweaty guys.
It’s all in the same package, (excuse the pun.)
A current trend explains why so many people, like millennials, are uncomfortable in the gym locker room.
There’s good reasons why everyone feels a little, say, exposed.
Here’s how to figure it out and relax: [Read More…]

NEW YORK, NEW YORK? COME ON NEW YORK

New York

 

 

Doing the right thing in New York is the same as doing the right thing in Oregon:

MUSICAL URGE SUGGESTIONS: A LESSON POST

Acting on a musical urge is always chancy.
Will you sound the way you think you sound, would like to sound?
There’s only one way to find out, and there’s a guitar laying around. Maybe it’s enough to stop thinking about it and get back to the more important things like video games and TV.

Don’t do that. Why?

AFFORDABLE CARE ACT OSCAR GOES TO?

Who deserves the Oscar for the Affordable Care Act? Health insurance used to be simple when I was young. At least it seemed simple. Mom and Dad took me to the doctor when things looked funky, like my collarbone. Things break on kids, like bones when they fly through the air and land awkwardly. Have […]

A Gift For The Baby Boomer Smoker: Gut Punch Therapy

And It’s Not A Carton Of Marlboro Red Even a smoker smells it. They may stink up a car with their smoky clothes and breath, but they’ll know if another smoker has been there. Will they complain about the bad effects of second hand smoke? Of course. Smokers come in all shapes and sizes and […]

BOOMER PARENTS, BOOMER MATES: THE DUECE

Do good boomer parents make better boomer mates?   You read the stats about marriage and divorce and wonder what it takes to make it work? If you’re a short-time married, pay attention.

Batman Rescue, Or What To Do With A Bat In The House

  Picture yourself and your date out on a most enjoyable night with an invitation to a home cooked dinner. The home in this case was a wonderful West Linn castle abode with a hillside view and an acre of manicured garden in the down sloping backyard. It had a feeling of Xanadu from Citizen […]

HIGH GROUND TO VIETNAM VET MEMORIAL: a photo essay

“The high ground is good.” That’s what the old timer said. “And there’s not so many people.” I found him under the Vietnam Veterans of Oregon Memorial bridge, sitting in a lawn chair and handing out pamphlets on Veteran’s Day.

A LIKE FOR OREGON

What Brings You To A State Isn’t The Same As What Keeps You There. Take Oregon and New York for example. You stay around Portland for different reasons than people stick around NYC. Size is important. For hundreds of miles around Manhattan people won’t leave, never think of leaving, because of the island. “Oh, we […]
