Second.

I came in second in the Mr. H.O.T. Bear contest.

And frankly, I'm pretty glad of it. The winner had to go do the whole thing again in Dallas in the Spring, and I don't. I also got a basket o' bear swag, and a one hour massage. All in all, a great time.

And I'm glad of it.

Here in the US, we have a short week ahead of us. Our Thanksgiving is Thursday, and I gotta tell you... I can sure handle a short week! This weekend is going to be fun. I'm going to Dallas after work on Wednesday, and think I might even spend part of the weekend with friends. That will relax and soothe me. Not that I'm tense and irratable, but you know... I love my leisure time!

As my Daddy would say, "We sure have a wooly bugger coming to visit us!" That's Texas-Speak for "There's a cold front coming. It will be cold"

This time of year, we never know when we make plans what the weather will be this time of year. Today, the high was like 78. It was a beautiful day. Birds singing, the whole thing.

By the end of the day tomorrow, it will butt-ass cold. It will help to get me in the mood for the holidays, but you know... it'll be cold, and that sucks. Even if I DO get to wear my wonderous winter clothes.

I have more to say, but I seem to be ambling on. Take care, all!

Congrats on your win! I have one bear friend. He is just big and hairy but lucky for him it's a new trend. Well, newish.

I hope you aren't offended but why do gay men always have the best blog layouts? It may be that when I read blogs and the layouts are good and they are men I just assume they must be gay. My blog layout just stinks but I try and pretend it is because I am above these things. (Creative roundabout way to say: I really like your blog very much.)
