Your a Friend of Dorthy's? I thought so.
Nov. 13th, 2007 12:53 pmThis morning I got a visit from one of our past residents that moved out of my building in May. He is 86 yrs old and moved to a senior facility. Apparently there was a mix up in closing his utility bill(PG&E). In fact he was still paying it up to November. I called the utility company for him, got his account credited, so all worked well.
But here is the cute thing. This Pearl Harbor Veteran, takes boat cruises twice a year with his best friend Bob, who is also a Vet. They served in Pearl Harbor together. They are both in their mid 80's and still traveling! I suspected something about both of them.
To make this long story short, I asked Mike if he enjoys his new senior community. He said yes. He lives across from the National Cemetery. And next door is the Marine Station. He said, and I quote "Every morning the Marines, are out exercising. About 100 or more of them. And it is a pleasure to see them all in there skimpy shorts. All their bulging muscles, and thighs." He just came out to me.
My mouth dropped. I asked, "Do you have a telescope?". He said, "You don't need one. They are only across the street, and what a view", with a blushing twinkle in his eye. I responded, "I didn't know that your a friend of Dorothy." He said "Yes I am." I said "I am too." He said "I know."
I must say that was cute. For those that are age discriminatory, there is to be something said from that generation. There is a lot to be learned. Some of the past stories of coming out, politics, sexual escapades are intriguing. Goes to show, that life, and mankind, has not changed that much.
Intriguing tidbit gossip: Did you know that after the foundations of the United Nations was constructed, it was used as a cruising mecca for gay men after bar hours? Apparently it was crawling with men everywhere. That's where one of my 90yr old friends used to hang out. Oy! Don't things ever change?

Tonight two of my best friends are taking me out for my birthday dinner. They made reservations at the Basque Center in SSF. What will I order? I've eaten there so many times.
Manners? Or not? When someone takes one out for a B-day dinner, does the birthday person order "anything" on the menu? Is it rude to order the highest priced item? I never do. I feel guilty and greedy doing that. I usually order items priced mid way, no higher. Even with a large group treating, I am usually still price conservative. Am I being too nice?

Dinner and friends - a birthday end
Nov. 13th, 2007 11:49 pmDinner at Basque Center was excellent as always. I did only order the medium price range. Spinach soup, their salad and the infamous dressing. I had a large portion of Swordfish in a lentil cream sauce. Excellent. David had the grilled prawns, Carlos had the salmon. I'm not sure what David's new friend Sarif had. But Sarif was an eye candy to watch. And our waiter, Allen. A very very cute cub. (Yes. I am always talking about sex and men. But hey. At least at 54, I am not dead(lol). We then retreated to my place for cake and drinks, and cards and fun gifts. More importantly, being with my best friends of almost 20 yrs..... lots of history, tears, and joy between us. Being with them is a great gift in itself.
