Although this is not a picture from the hotel pool, I’ll tweet a couple of pics and comments today.
I’m mixing things up a bit and after spending time at the hotel beach, I’m now going to lounge poolside where I plan to people watch, start reading my third book and of course get more than my share of Vitamin D thanks to the beautiful weather.
Today’s forecast in San Juan, Puerto Rico: 84 degrees and sunny

I arrived without incident on Thursday afternoon at La Concha Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The flight down was uneventful (thankfully) and the first 24-hours have been both relaxing and funny. I’ve already finished my first book, Catch Me If You Can by LB Gregg. It is 200+ page gay novel that is funny and easy to read about a lowly art gallery assistant who’s world turns upside down. I found myself laughing out loud on more than a few occassions while reading this easy to solve, but entertaining gay-themed mystery.
I’m inserting a couple of tweets from the past 24-hours with accompanying photos as follow up from my previous post, Off to Puerto Rico. The picture quality leaves something to be desired but I took these with my blackberry and the camera is only mezza mezza. If you click on the photos they should enlarge.
TWEET: Zoom in + see #SluttyCouple. Makeout session aside, he has killer abs #GetaRoom
TWEET:#DrunkUglyCouple who kept bumping into me at the bar last night. Yup that’s her leg on him. #ISeeUglyPeople

I’m making a mad dash to the Carribean to escape this bitter cold. I want to remember what it feels like to have the sun on my face and be warm.
Since I bore easily I will most likely be tweeting photos and witty comments poolside / beachside. See below for some examples of my “Tweet Pics” from my trip to Puerto Rico this past December.
My alter ego, “Vacation BosGuy” is about to emerge, so check back and follow me on Twitter. I’ve included some Tweet pics from my last stay at La Concha Hotel in San Juan from this past December.
My handle is @BosGuy.

The US Census Bureau reported that the number of same-sex couples in Massachusetts climbed sharply over the past decade; rising 17% to more than 20,000. This is not particularly surprising. Massachusetts continues to lead the nation in passing legislation that protects the rights of the GLBT community (adoption rights, protections in the workplace, marriage equality etc…) As younger gay men and women have come of age – growing up in a socially liberal state where there is less of a stigma it is not surprising to see that many want to move in together or get married.
So despite living through long, cold winters – we’re quite the gay old state. If you’d like to read the Boston Globe article link here.

I’m a fan of Twitter. I love how quick and easy it is to use and connect with people. Another perk to this fabulous application is what I refer to as the “men of twitter”. There are so many handsome guys on Twitter. Adding to that attraction is the fact that they only talk in 140 characters 🙂
Although I must say that I think I could listen to @JLAppelbaum (who’s profile pic I’ve posted here) for hours if the opportunity presented itself. Does that make me shallow or a man of good taste? You decide.
Last week Renaissance Hotels announced on Twitter (handle, @RenHotels) they are offering a deal “Stay 2 Nights, Get Your 3rd Night Free” from February 10 – March 27, 2011. I was so excited because my partner and I are leaving to stay at a Renaissance property in San Juan, PR starting February 10th, and it never seems like I can leverage these last minute travel deals which regularly clog my inbox.
However, when I called I was told that the property we were staying at would not be offering the deal. I went from being psyched that we could save some money during our 5-night stay to disappointed and frustrated. It makes me wish I had not seen the offer. After getting off the phone today I blasted out a tweet crying foul, but I don’t know if it will help or provide any satisfaction. Should I hear back from the Renaissance Properties, I’ll be sure to update you.

I have to wonder if this mystery man has ever tasted ice cream or eaten french fries. I hope not because it would seem tragically unfair for one person to have such a handsome face, fit body and high metabolism. I hope he has someone special in his life, but if not I’m willing to offer myself as a surrogate.

A little flight attendent humor. I hope you enjoy.
Ryan Landry and his Gold Dust Orphans are set to spoof one of my all-time favorite movies in his next play entitled, Pussy on the House.
Landry’s plays, which come to life with the help of the Gold Dust Orphans, routinely take American classics and turn them on their head with bawdy banter that pokes fun at stereotypes. When Ryan is at his best, his shows are so funny that you leave with a bellyache from laughing so hard. So rent a copy of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof if you are unfamiliar with the story. Both Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor are so amazingly beautiful in this movie I promise it will hold your attention. Then plan a night out with friends and purchase your tickets early to see Ryan’s perverse take on William’s classic. You won’t be disappointed.
Pussy on the House
February 25 – March 20
Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 p.m.
Sundays at 5:00 p.m.

Purchase Tickets Here
To provide you with a teaser of what you can expect from Landry, I’ve included a video clip of the song “SuperEgo Blues” from his 2008 play, Whizzin.

The picture attached to the Tweet is the same as the image below in my previous post. However, the descriptive Tweet is extremely funny.

People not born in or near Boston often get confused by a native’s accent and expressions or as I like to refer to it the “Boston SLANGuage”.
If you’re not from the area you may even struggle to say this expression correctly. Don’t be shy, its impossible to over-emphasize the second syllable of “Pissa”. Incidentally, it is also correct to write this as “Pissah” in my book.
If you hear someone say “Wicked Pissa” what they are saying is something is really awesome. For example, watching the Celtics make the Lakers cry uncle in Sunday afternoon’s game this past week was a wicked pissa.

Is it just me or doesn’t this seem like it should not be legal? With more than 60″ of snowfall in Boston so far this winter, trying to clear space in the city is not easy. However, this contraption which rapidly melts snow in this parking lot quickly drains through the city sewers and into Boston harbor. Is that really legal?
Watch my quick video and let me know what you think.
Scampo is in the very cool Liberty Hotel in Beacon Hill. It is also one of Lydia Shire’s signature restaurants. It is one of those places that I always enjoy when I go because its surroundings are so beautiful, the service is consistently excellent and the food is as delicious as it is memorable. This is not a restaurant to visit if you are on a budget. Dinner for two (appetizers, main dishes and a shared dessert – not including drinks or tip) will cost ~$100.00. However, the menu is fantastic (maybe one of the best in the city). 
Service was flawless from start to finish. Our waiter provided excellent suggestions and went out of his way to make our evening special. My partner finished his meal a good 5 minutes earlier but his plate was not cleared until I finished; making me feel unrushed and allowing me to savor every bite.
My dinner consisted of a few glasses of wine, sharing two starters and a delicious main. We started with “Patrick’s naan w/ proscuitto” and the vine ripe heirloom tomotoes, basil and fresh mozzarella salad. My main dish was large and flavorful. I ordered one of the special meals that evening; slow cooked pork in a wine reduction sauce, accompanied by marinated cherries, vegetables and risotto.
Want a special night out? Put Scampo on your list – its one of Boston’s best.
Starter: Patrick’s naan w/ proscuitto $18
Starter: Mozzarella salad $14
Main: Pork special $39
Scampo is located in the Liberty Hotel Boston, MA 617-536-2100
Reservations strongly recommended
I started the week working out like a gay single 20-something, hitting the gym consecutive days; Saturday, Sunday and Monday, but a bit of travel ended my streak, and I’ve not returned to the gym since coming home from NYC.
Saturday – January 22nd Still sore from my work out on Friday I went to the gym groaning, but it was time well spent – my trainer, Stu, focused on shoulders, triceps with a bit of abdominal work at my request.
Sunday – January 23rd I went to the gym for a run – after two days in a row of lifting weights I needed a break, and I was pleasantly surprised to have another fairly easy run. I had not run since last Sunday, but I beat my previous time by 90-seconds, running 3.5 miles in 0:32:06 averaging 6.6mph
Monday – January 24th Stu had me focus on arms. I don’t think I’d ever done an entire work out on arms. Despite it killing, I’d like to do this again. It worked out perfectly since we met during my lunch hour and the gym was empty. Nobody could see me struggling mightily to curl the tiny weights.
