Happy Halloween
Song of the Witches: “Double, double toil and trouble”
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
(from Macbeth)
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
Notes: Macbeth: IV.i 10-19; 35-38

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.
This week on Instagram: destsalem
Considering the time of year, it makes sense that I share a little love for Salem, MA which is the “it” place to be each Halloween. While locals will be quick to point out that this little New England village, rich with American history has more to offer than witch trials and eerie (possibly haunted) homes, at this time of year it seems appropriate to focus on this town’s notorious history.
The town is very picturesque and easy to get to by boat in the summer months or by commuter rail from North Station if you don’t have a car. It is definitely worthy of a visit and can offer some good seaside dining options.

“First date”
Nothing Gold Can Stay
In what has become an unintentional tradition, each October I post this poem on my blog. It is one of my favorite poems and happens to be by the famous 20th century American poet, Robert Frost.
Nothing gold can stay was inspired by the fall foliage in New England and was written nearly 100 years ago, back in 1923.
Nature’s first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
Temptation Tuesday
This week’s post is for all of you who have been asking for me to add a few more blonds into the mix – apologies for the oversight.
Men in kilts
Earlier this year I featured Rab Shields (one half of the Kilted Coaches) as a Furry Friday (you can see him here) so I figured I should feature the equally handsome other half of that duo, Stephen Clarke.
