Soooo tired


I arrived home from Toronto at 2:00 a.m. and am just heading off to school six hours later.....  soooooo tired!   This is just the cumulative exhaustion brought on by driving 3500 km the previous weekend and by a busy first week of teaching.

I had a fantastic time but it turned out to NOT be a particularly sleazy weekend.   The high points included having coffee with a handsome and charismatic author and spending an afternoon on the 'gay end' of the nude beach on Toronto Island.

I had a great time at a couple of gay stripper clubs including my favourite place, Remingtons, and spent most of the night at the Steamworks bathhouse which was terrifying WAY BEYOND my comfort zone. Also, I spent most of one day at a university campus (hottie frat boys and lots of nerdy ones. Woot!)

On Monday, I had my *sshole poked by a nice older gentlemen but this was during my highly stressful visit to the cancer hospital.  I'm returning to the Prostate Centre next week for a medical procedure. Details on all of this to follow.

  1. Hey Buddy, I really do want to hear about your experience at Steamworks. I'm sorry I didn't send you an email regarding what to expect. My first time at a bath house was also a little mind blowing and disappointing all at the same time. My first was Steamworks in Berkley, California. I couldn't figure out way no one was talking ;-)
    Get plenty of rest. As a teacher you get confronted by all those germy kids ;-)

    Thanks for sharing.
    I hope your prostrate biopsy goes well.

  5. Thanks, everyone, for commenting! And thanks, also, for all your good wishes. I will be back at the Princess Margaret in one week (Sept. 19) for a needle biopsy.

    Although I resemble the guy in the first pic, it is just of some random guy from the internet.

  7. good luck with the prostate;
    take paper and pen, as the emotions therein will cause you to forget what is told to you.
    I wish I was in Toronto with you!

    1. Thank you for the good advice! As a cancer survivor, I already knew about the feelings of anxiety and dread which I would be experiencing and took paper notes all day long. The cancer clinics generally request (or suggest) that the patient brings a friend or family member to the consultation for that exact reason.

      As I had no family in Toronto, I will have to be a lone wolf. AROOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
