Supreme Court to rule on Affordable Care Act today

Posted on June 28, 2012 | 3 comments

Affordable Care ActAt 10:00AM Eastern the US Supreme Court – the highest court in the country – will rule on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act President Obama signed into law back in 2010.

While the rest of the world sits around dumbfounded by our health care system wondering why providing universal care would be a bad idea, I will be sitting at my desk following the SCOTUS blog, which will be live blogging.  I’m fairly certain aspects of the legislation are likely to be found unconstitutional. I say this because most of the Supreme Court’s rulings under Chief Roberts have been split decisions (5-4) along political lines. My fingers are crossed that the Affordable Care Act which is based on my state’s health care system will be upheld.

What are your thoughts about this debate?

Gandy candy

Posted on June 27, 2012 | 4 comments

David GandyFrom time to time I like to insert a photograph of David Gandy, a 30-something English model with a stunningly handsome face and body to match. I refer to these random posts as “Gandy candy” for obvious reasons.  Not sure who the lucky photographer was but I found this on the aptly named tumblr site, Candy Gandy.

Fitness tips from Kris Kranzky

Posted on June 27, 2012 | 2 comments

Personal FitnessFor the past month I’ve been posting fitness tips from my trainer Kris Kranzky from the Boston Sports Club in the South End.

This week he shares his workout routine. Kris works out for five days and rests for two; his routine typically includes: Monday/ Chest; Tuesday/ Back; Wednesday/ Legs; Thursday/ Shoulders; Friday/ Arms.

Before each workout Kris starts with a 20-minute cardio, using a high intensity interval training setting on a bike or treadmill; followed by 40 minutes of weight training.  His goal is to complete approximately 120 reps per muscle group meaning if he does four sets of four exercises he would do 8-10 reps per set to 8 x 4 x 4 = 128 reps.

Suggested military recruitment photo

Posted on June 27, 2012 | 3 comments

gays in the military

Why do they call this hand-to-hand combat training? I think here in Boston we refer to this as “straddling”. Its funny how different parts of the country use different words to describe the same thing.

I snagged this photograph from the Bill in Exile blog.   If the armed forces are struggling with meeting their recruitment numbers, I highly recommend releasing more of these images.

Provincetown 2012 summer line up

Posted on June 26, 2012 | 6 comments

With summer in full swing, many of Provincetown’s biggest acts are nearly sold out.  If you are planning a trip to Ptown later this summer, check out their local theater and get tickets to one of the many shows that play every night.

This summer guests like Patti Lupone, Pam Ann, Margaret Cho, Miss Coco Peru, Charles Busch, and Meghan Mullally will all be performing in Provincetown for a limited number of shows.  You can also check out one of the many “regular” shows including Varla Jean Merman’s show Topping Myself,  Jamie Morris and Brooks Braselman’s show Mommie Queerest, Ms Richfield 1981 show this summer, 2012 We’ll all be dead by Christmas, and Ryan Landry’s Mary Poppers just to name a few.

Most (but not all) performances happen at the Provincetown Art House or the Crown and Anchor.  Do yourself a favor and purchase tickets in advance for one night when you are staying in Ptown. I promise you’ll enjoy yourself and be happy you went to one of the many shows.

Things that make BosGuy go hmm…

Posted on June 26, 2012 | 1 comment

Not really sure what kind of person would ever want to be out in public with a “TV Hat”.  Seems like the kind of device a bad science fiction movie from 1960s would concoct. I can think of more than a few people who I wish would wear this contraption if only so I wouldn’t have to look at their face, but then that’s not such a nice thing to say so I won’t mention names.

Weekend at Lake Winnipesaukee

Posted on June 26, 2012 | 4 comments

Four years ago my family built a second home on Lake Winnipesaukee just a few miles from the center of Wolfboro.  The house is large enough to comfortably accommodate everyone, which makes the home ideal for family gatherings like we had this past weekend.

The weather all weekend in central NH was beautiful with the exception of some brief rainfall that came through early in the evening on Saturday after we had spent the day at the beach and went for a ride on Dad’s new toy.  I spent the weekend relaxing with family and eating far too much.

Temptation Tuesday

Posted on June 26, 2012 | 2 comments

Boston GuyFeeling tempted?  When I look at this picture I feel like I’m in someone’s bedroom in Miami.  Maybe I’m just projecting since its probably exactly where I’d like to be with someone so sexy.

What do you think of this week’s Temptation Tuesday?

Boston Navy Week: June 29 – July 6, 2012

Matt Boomer in Magic Mike

Boston Navy Week (a much smaller version of Fleet Week in NYC) is June 29 – July 6.  The news release says the U.S. Navy will “come home, giving area residents an opportunity to meet Sailors” – sounds like fun.

Will you be in Boston? While many will be escaping to the coast and islands for the 4th the week (like yours truly), staying in Boston suddenly has more appeal.  With DADT repealed, don’t be surprised if you see more men in uniform at the local gay bars.

There is more information on the Boston Navy Week official site.

DotOUT Summer Tea Dance at dbar

Posted on June 25, 2012 | 1 comment

dBar Sunday, June 24th was the DotOUT Tea Dance at dBar in Dorchester.  Weather for the 5th Annual Tea Dance could not have been better and that is probably why most everyone who was not dancing spent a good part of the event on dBar’s patio.  Keeping with the Price is Right themed Boston float DotOUT had at Boston Pride, the Tea Dance had many props and games associated with the game show.

“Gay Jim” from KISS 108 FM kept everyone dancing all afternoon

Gay Jim DJ

Thank you to everyone who was kind enough to pose for a photo and apologies to any that may not have made this post.    I’d also like to thank dbar and their staff, all the sponsors and DotOUT for pulling together another wonderful Tea Dance.dbardbardbardbardbardbardbardbar

Nephew’s letter to the toothfairy

Posted on June 25, 2012 | 4 comments

BosGuyI spent the weekend with my family up at my parent’s lake house in NH and my nephew Jack is at that age where he is losing his ‘baby’ teeth.  As it happened, he had pulled one of his teeth while at the lake this weekend and before heading to bed he left the tooth fairy a letter suggesting that he would very much enjoy a Pokemon deck of cards.

Yakitori Zai opens

Posted on June 25, 2012 | 5 comments

Yakitori Zai has finally opened after much speculation and a lot of waiting. I had eagerly written about this tiny neighborhood restaurant with a lot of glee and thought it would be a great addition.

However, my opinion of the restaurant has soured without even stepping a foot in the door.  The restaurant’s website includes the following (very unwelcome message in my opinion), indicating that for the first two weeks it is open, walk-in service will not be permitted, there will be only two seatings Tuesdays through Fridays / three seatings on the weekends, and the cost per person will be $120 – less alcohol and gratuity.  It appears my hopes for a great neighborhood restaurant have been dashed yet again.

Men of Twitter

Posted on June 25, 2012 | 1 comment

BosGuyEach Monday I post #MenOfTwitter profiles of men who catch my eye and whom I think you may enjoy following.  This month I’m featuring Twitter profiles of men who are lending their voice and influence to fight for greater equality. Earlier this month I included names of actors and political activists.  This week I’m featuring two athletes who have raised awareness about homophobia.

Brian Sims for PennsylvaniaSims4PA – Brian Sims is originally from D.C. and this former college athlete has a unique distinction of being the only openly gay football captain in NCAA history.  After graduating he went on to get his J.D. and then serve as the President of Equality PA, and as the Chairman of the Gay and Lesbian Lawyers of Philadelphia (GALLOP), until he stepped down from both positions in 2011.  He is now running for the PA House of Representatives.

Matt MitchamMatthew_Mitcham – Matthew is an  Australian diver who many first became aware of when he won 10M diving event at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.  Matthew was also one of the few openly gay athletes competing in the 2008 Summer Olympics. You will be able to see more of Matthew in a few weeks when he competes for Australia at the London Summer Olympic Games.
