riddle, exercise for your brainEach 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. I’ll approve responses later in the day to give people a chance to respond without seeing any spoilers.

This week’s brain teaser:  If Santa’s five elves take five minutes to make five dolls, then how long do you think 100 elves will need to make 100 dolls?

Vintage gay

Posted on December 1, 2022 | 1 comment

I wish this photograph was larger, because I love this ‘tough guy’ look and how the three are identically posed with legs crossed at the ankles, arms crossed, similar shirts open at the chest, and cigarettes hanging out of their mouths while they look straight into the camera. Anyone able to place or date this photo?

I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

Jack Repetti owner of The Eagle has passed

Posted on November 30, 2022 | 4 comments

Thousands of gay men have been served a drink along with a sly or sarcastic comment from Jack Repetti. The former owner and operator of the Eagle (a.k.a. The Dirty Bird) from 1981 to March 2020, was a fixture in Boston’s LGBTQ community. The Eagle closed in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic and a year later was put on the market. It recently reopened under new ownership as The Kartal (Turkish for Eagle) and the owners who were friends of Jack would like to host a memorial in his honor.

Remembering Jack
Tuesday, Dec 6th 6PM-8PM
The Kartal (formerly The Eagle)

For those who would like to remember acerbic bartender, The Kartal will be hosting a gathering on Tuesday, December 6th from 6PM – 8PM. A memory book will be available to share stories about Jack and the bar where most every gay man in Boston ended up late on any given Friday or Saturday night. People are encourged to bring photos of Jack to add to the book.

Temptation Tuesday

Posted on November 29, 2022 | 1 comment

This is the first Temptation Tuesday following Thanksgiving and the first full week of the holiday season. I’m posting this to give me some extra (and much needed) ‘gymspiration’. If the post also helps motivate you to get to the gym or move around a bit more, so much the better.
