First Light: New Year’s Eve in Provincetown

Posted on December 14, 2015 | Leave a comment

Provincetown New Year's EveProvincetown is once again pulling out all the stops for New Years celebrations. It has been several years since Sergio and I have spent New Year’s Eve in Ptown, but it looks like the town is hoping that more people will come to ring in the New Year.  Visiting Provincetown off season can be amazing fun.  If you are still trying to figure out what to do for New Year’s Eve you might want to consider driving down to Ptown with someone special or a group of friends.

Celebrations will start on Wednesday, December 30th and run through Saturday, January 2nd. NYE parties are planned at places like the Crown & Anchor and AHouse and there will be plenty of events including shows from some of your favorite Ptown entertainers like Miss Richfield and Dina Martina as well as special events like the annual Polar Bear Plunge and Fireworks.

Boston Santa Speedo Run 2015

Posted on December 14, 2015 | 3 comments

Boston Santa Speedo Run 2015In case you missed it, this past Saturday Boston hosted the 16th Annual SSR (Santa Speedo Run) in the Back Bay.

This year there were fewer runners than in past years despite the unseasonably warm temperature but there remained (as usual) a very large contingent of gay men who participated.  Notably two large teams that have been raising money for several years: Team Wrecking Ballz who were dressed in black with antlers and Team Straight As A Candy Cane.

Unfortunately this year I cannot make a video but below are some photos from the run, which raises money for the PlayBall! Foundation.  Much thanks to Sergio for taking photographs and special thanks to friend and reader, Kyle Szary for sharing his photographs with me to share with you this year.

animals, christmasI can’t imagine how uncomfortable it is to have their ears squished inside these knit hats, but I will admit the photo is adorable, and I’d probably use this as my Christmas card if they were mine.

Who said it: Donald Trump or not Donald Trump?

Posted on December 10, 2015 | Leave a comment

Hillary ClintonDonald Trump’s recent comment about banning all Muslims from entering the US has a lot of Republicans distancing themselves, but the fact is the Republican Party of 2015 is far more conservative than it has ever been and while many may revile Mr. Trump, his running mates are in many ways just as extreme. The Hillary Clinton campaign has created a rather interesting online game I’d suggest you try called Who said it: Donald Trump or not Donald Trump?
