It seems like each Friday some bit of sensational political news “leaks” that dominates the news through the weekend. Assuming that trend will happen again, I’m sharing my prediction before the final weekend prior to the election this coming Tuesday.
While I would really like to see Donald Trump and the entire Republican Party suffer an historic defeat, that seems (much to my surprise) unlikely but the silver lining is if my predictions are true, it will still be a deplorable loss (get the pun?).
I’m disappointed in Ohio, which seems far too impressed with Trump for me to predict a Clinton win there but I’m hopeful that third party candidate, Evan McMullin, does something no Independent has done in recent memory and beats both the Democrat and Republican candidates by taking Utah – unfortunately that isn’t an option with 270towin.com.
I know that BuzzFeed has rebranded the company as a news organization, but I still think of them as the king of endless top ten lists and mindless, unscientific surveys like this one which they posted last Monday.
For the record, I was pegged as 66% Top and 34% Bottom – no comment on the accuracy of the survey. Curious to see how you stack up? You can take the online quiz – it takes just a few minutes time.

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 for a future post? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
Last month (in case you missed it) The Boston Globe, EaterBoston and other news outlets reported that Eataly Boston would host their grand opening just in time for the holiday season on Tuesday, November 29th.
For those unfamiliar with Eataly, Boston is only the third city in the United States to have such a store but the chain has 31 locations worldwide. Eataly Boston will have 45, 000 square feet dedicated to all things Italian. The store will have three levels and be a mixture of full-service restaurants, fast-casual counters, and places to buy products to take home.
The Boston location includes three casual restaurant spaces that offer waiter service: La Pizza & La Pasta, La Piazza, and Il Pesce. While they’re all located within Eataly, they operate independently.
Package (\ˈpa-kij\noun)
Definition: Refers to male genitalia (penis and scrotum together), often associated with large size. Also commonly referred to as “basket”.
Example: I could distinctly see a VPL on that guy’s package when he walked by.
Each Wednesday morning I post a photograph and ask readers to offer a funny caption. Hopefully the caption below inspires you to share a few of your own.
Nice to meet you

ABOUT BEAUTY SALON: “Like much of Mr. Bellatin’s work, Beauty Salon is pithy, allegorical and profoundly disturbing, with a plot that evokes The Plague by Camus or Blindness by José Saramago.”–New York Times
Today t is Halloween but a lot of parties were held this past weekend. Sergio and I spent the weekend in Provincetown with friends.
Above is a photograph of us posing with Timothy O’Connor who showed up at The Boatslip Tea Dance on Saturday evening. Below are a few more photos. Thank you to all who struck a pose.
