riddle, exercise for your brain

Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain.

This week’s riddle comes from Redit and it is tough! You may need help. So share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together. Leave your answer in the comments section. I’ll approve responses later in the day – good luck!

This week’s riddle:

Four letters stand to make my name.
Should 2 be taken, 4 remains.
And should they take away 1 more, my meaning will be as before.

I’ll approve responses later in the day to give people a chance to respond without seeing any spoilers.

New South End restaurant Marseille hints at opening

Posted on March 29, 2023 | Leave a comment

Back in December I shared that the team behind Petit Robert would be opening a new restaurant in the South End called Marseille. The new restaruant will focus on southern French cuisine and operate out of the space that was formerly home to Gaslight Brasserie. 

Initially slated to open in February or March, the restaurant’s Instagram account yesterday hinted that the opening would be soon. There is more work to be done, but it’s possible they could be looking at an April opening.

Last week, two of the three large patio umbrellas that had been installed by the previous restaurant were removed. It is unclear if they will be reinstalled, but otherwise there has been little change from outside the restaurant. However, it appears as if renovations inside have progressed. Follow their Instagram account to stay up to date on their progress.

I am in awe of this guy’s discipline to be able to remain so fit. I don’t know who this person is or what is his age, but he is equal parts tempting and inspiring.

Men in kilts

Posted on March 27, 2023 | 15 comments

Wool kilts can be quite warm, but fortunately it is easy to cool off. I know there will be several of you who will be curious and want to see the unedited copy (which shows a bit more than my pg-13 blog allows) so if you’re feeling tempted, leave your email in the comment section or you can email directly at bosguymail@gmail.com.

Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together. Leave your answer in the comment section.

This week’s riddle: Name a 5-letter word, if typed all in capital letters and was turned upside down would be the same word.

I have one word in mind but there may be others that would also work. I’ll approve responses later in the day to give people a chance to respond without seeing any spoilers.

Vintage gay

Posted on March 23, 2023 | 5 comments

I’m very intrigued by this week’s vintage gay photo of guys at a gay bar (I’m guessing in the 1980s based on haircuts and clothing). I have no idea why the guy in the white t-shirt has miniature handcuffs clamped to his button fly and belt loop. I’m also more than a little curious to know who is the guy hidden behind him. Either way, these guys look like they are enjoying themselves.

It’s the demise of gay bars, which may still be around but aren’t quite gay like this anymore that I sometimes miss when I am out. Anyone else feel a similar sesnse of melancholy?

Dani’s Queer Bar announces opening date

Posted on March 22, 2023 | Leave a comment

In January, Boston’s LGBTQ Night Life announced they would be opening a bar dedicated to queer women and non-binary LGBTQ+ community. Earlier this month, the former home of the Pour House in Back Bay was identified as the home of Dani’s Queer Bar, but the big question was when would they open? This week Dani’s Queer Bar answered that question sharing that their goal is to be open June 1st (in time for Boston’s Pride Week celebration).

This is HUGE news when you consider according to Wikipedia only 15 lesbian bars remain in all of the United States.

For more information about this new queer venue follow their Instagram account, Dani’s Queer Bar  🏳️‍⚧️.
