Wow! What a busy weekend this was. On Friday night, Sweetie and I went out to Davis to see a production of Pirates of Penzance by a touring British theater company. It was very enjoyable. I had neve seen it staged before, but I had performed one of the choruses from the show a number of years ago.
On Saturday morning, we attended and sang at a memorial service for the mother of an old friend. I was a little nervous because rumor had it that a former boyfriend of mine might be there. This "ex" was my first boyfriend and he is the one I broke up with in order to start my relationship with Sweetie. I haven't seen this person in over eighteen years. My worries were for nothing as he was not there. I wouldn't mind seeing him again, but I don't know what that would be like.
The weather here was warm and dry, so on Saturday afternoon, I did my yard work. I worked for about four hours and found out later that the temperature hit about 90F. I knew it was warm, but not that warm!
Saturday night, we attended a sixth birthday party for the little daughter of our good friends. She is getting to be so personable and a joy to be around. We had a fun evening.
Yesterday was a bit quieter. I did my two hours at the gym, and then grilled a tri tip roast on the grill. I replaced all three burners on Saturday, so it works like new again. We had a nice dinner on the patio. It was a bit cooler yesterday and a little breezy. Beautiful.
That was my weekend. Hope you all had a great weekend as well.
Have a great day!

Friday at last!
We made it through the week and Friday has finally arrived. After a somewhat frustrating day at work yesterday, I can count myself among those who are none to glad to see Friday arrive. I have been working on a project for the past couple of years that seemed to finally be heading to some sort of resolution. In fact, things were progressing so quickly of late that I was feeling a little guilty about going to Hawaii next month- in the middle of what looked like a pretty critical time for this project. Well, as of yesterday, it looks as though things have cooled a bit. Yikes! It gets harder to remain focused in the face of constant and repeated delays.
The hightlight of my day, aside from a nice dinner with my Sweetie, was a good hard workout at the gym. I guess what they say about working out your frustration through exercise is really true.
It looks like it will be a great weekend here in northern California. It was very warm yesterday- in the mid 80's. Even warmer today, they say, with temps close to 90. Perfect! Remember, this is a warm but very dry climate, so even into the 90's, it is still pleasant. I must also have had some reptile blood in my family tree somewhere. I just love the really warm dry weather. I sometimes feel like finding a nice rock and just basking in the full sun!
I would like to send my thoughts out to Ryan and Mike at A guy in Love. Mike had a serious accident and is in the hospital fighting to recover. This blog is a fun read about two young gay guys who found each other and are just starting to build a life together. After finding the love of my life and spending all these years building our life together, it just warms my heart to read about the wonders and frustrations of young love. Please pop over and lend them your support, Godspeed, guys!
Today I have my annual medical check-up. I am hoping to get a good clean bill of health. Last year, I was a bit heavier, cholesterol on the high side, and elevated blood pressure. After a bit of a lecture, I took the bull by the horns, lost twenty pounds, changed my diet and expanded my exercise goals. I feel great, so I am hoping the Doc will say good things. I am also having my annual PSA test and "finger wag". Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death among adult men, so I'm told, so I cannot tell you how important it is to get tested. I lost my dad to cancer a little over eight years ago. His cancer started out as prostate cancer and over a fifteen year period, progressed to bone cancer. I miss him so much sometimes, even after all these years. So, please, if you are over 40, especially over 45, call for an appointment and get tested. It is no sweat! just a couple of minutes and then you have another year without worries!
I had better see about getting ready to start the day. My appointment is early, before work, so at least I will have that out of my hair soon. Tonight, Sweetie and I are going to see a performance at the Mondavi Performing Arts Center at UC Davis. We will hit a German restaurant on the way. Should be a fun evening.
Regards to all.

Vacation on the horizon
Good morning, all. One month from today, Sweetie, some family members, and I will be heading off to Hawaii for a week in the tropical sun. I know, boo hoo, poor California boys having to jet off to Hawaii in order to get warmth and sun. OK, you're right. We are pretty blessed to have nice weather most of the year here in CA. But it is always nice to get away and from here, Hawaii is a somewhat inexpensive trip.
This will be our fifth trip to Hawaii. But, it will be our third trip there in the past eighteen months. And even worse, we were just in Hawaii about three weeks ago. This makes it sound as though we just hop a flight whenever the mood strikes, but that's not really the case. Let me explain.
Earlier on in our relationship, Sweetie and I made two separate trips to Hawaii, specifically to the island of Oahu. On our first trip, we went to Honolulu and did a lot of the touristy things. We had a ball! We found the small gay night scene, had marvelous *ahem* on our balcony overlooking Waikiki Beach, you know, all the things that young lovers do on a trip to Hawaii. We liked it so much, we went back a couple of years later. Same type of trip, but only to Oahu.
Fast forward about ten years, and many other trips later. In December 2005, we decided to escape the wet and cold and spend a week, and specifically New Years Eve, on the island of Maui. We had a wonderful time. Here again, we did all of the touristy things- snorkeling, biking down Mt. Haleakala, trip to Hana, helicopter tour, whale watching, etc. We tend to be very busy travelers. On that trip, we re-connected with a former Sacramento resident who moved to Maui a few years back. An idea was hatched to bring our performing group to Maui and do a joint concert with a performing group this person is involved with. So, we went with our group to Maui during Easter week this year.
We had a great time. The performances went very well. We also spent four days on the Big Island to see the volcano, more snorkeling, etc. Just about the time we booked that trip, some family members expressed an interest in going to Hawaii with us. Too late to tag along on the group trip. So Sweetie and I decided that it would be a great idea to make the family trip too. Thus, just before we left on March 30th, we booked the second trip. On this trip we will go back to Honolulu for four days (haven't been there in about ten years) and then back to the Big Island for four days. It should be a really fun trip.
Even though I was just on vacation, in a month's time, I'm sure I will be ready to go again. I will soon be packing and getting ready to leave again. Don't worry, I promise to have a Mai Tai for each and every one of you!!
Best regards.

Happy Administrative Assistants' Day!
My unit at work is really big on celebrating any possible holiday ever imagined. Therefore, there must be a celebration for Administrative Assistants' Day, and there will be! We (management types) were hit-up yesterday for contributions. Someone made a run to Costco for goodies. So this morning at around 10:00am, there will be an orgy of cake, cookies and punch to thank all of the admins that help prop us up. Don't get me wrong. I love to celebrate these types of things, but you can imagine what life is like around the holidays.
It should be a really nice day here today- about 79F. Yesterday's high of 81 was a real treat. I had a great workout at the gym last night. Geez, the place was crowded! When I arrived, not a single treadmill was available. Got my whole workout done and feeling great this morning!
Remember that new curry recipe I mentioned last weekend? Well, it was interesting, but not as good as my tried and true recipe from the old Good Housekeeping Cookbook. The curry was really much better on Monday. I guess the flavors had a chance to develop- it was really much better on Monday.
I love the good Housekeeping Cookbook! My copy is not my mother's, hers went to my sister after she died. I got mine from an old family friend who died many years ago. This woman had never opened the box, so in spite of being several decades old, it was brand new when I got it. I always know that when I need a recipe for something I want to prepare, I can always count on this wonderful book.
My mom used her's all the time. In fact, we had many meals while growing up where the recipes came from the WWII wartime supplement section that came with hers when she bought it during the war. Most people my age don't know what I am talking about, but perhaps a few older folks will run upon this blog and know exactly what the wartime cookbook supplements, complete with ration information, were.
I'll have to tell you a few stories about my folks, their memories of the war, and growing up with parents who were technically old enough to be my grandparents. Stories to follow.
I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.
Regards to all.

Good morning, world!
A happy Tuesday to you all. It is about 4:50am here on the west coast. Yes, I am a very early riser, been up for about half an hour now, but what a beautiful time of the morning it is. Sweetie is still sleeping. He is the night owl, I am an early-to-bed, early-to-rise kind of guy. The house is very quiet at this hour and I enjoy doing a few chores before getting ready for work.
I think spring will arrive here in California today. We have been having a run of cool and damp weather, ending with a wet weekend this past weekend. The highs were in the 60's over the weekend, but today it could be near 80. For you frozen folks back east, does it seem strange to go from winter to spring in just two days?
We had a very nice March. Sweetie and I have had dinner on the patio about a dozen times already this year thanks to warm and dry weather. But that all went away about two weeks ago. Now, spring must be here for good.
I had a rehearsal with the group I perform with last night. It is going well. An upcoming concert will be the last of this concert season and then I get a break for the summer. This has been my 21st season performing with this group and although I love it, I really look forward to summer break.
Today will be another day of work, followed by an evening at the gym. I try to get to the gym on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. I go for a two hour session. First, I run 3.25 miles on the treadmill, starting at 7.3 miles per hour. I up the speed at mile 2 to 7.5, and then bump it up to 7.8 for the last .25. I really work up a sweat! Then, I do a circuit on weight machines for about an hour and a half. Basically, a general whole body workout.
I must say, it has really helped me to look better. I stand a little over 5' 10", and weigh in at right about 180lbs. I have never been a slight individual, but with a fairly tight waist, 31" or 32", depending on the cut of the pants, I feel pretty good about things.
I got my first comment! Thank you, Bigg! I have been reading a blog by this remarkable guy in Pennsylvania. Bigg has a beautifully written blog and a very compelling story. Anyone reading this should go on over and take a look. He is a gay man going down life's road like the rest of us, but his road has had a few more twists and turns than many, especially mine. He is a dedicated father, an unbelievably hard worker, and even though I have only read his words, I know I admire and respect him. He displays the qualities that all of us should strive for. Take a look.
Well, my friends, time to get ready for work. I ride the light rail train to work and it leaves at 6:45am. So it's time to haul my carcass to the bathroom and get ready. Have a wonderful day!
Regards to all.

Beautiful Sunday
It is a beautiful Sunday here in central California. Temperature in the mid 60's, a light breeze blowing, and scattered clouds bearing the possibility of rain showers throughout the day. It rained quite a bit starting Saturday afternoon and continued all night. It looks like we had about about a half inch of rain. That's quite a bit by our standards. It just doesn't rain here like it does in many other parts of the country.
My sweetie and I had a nice morning. I slept until about 6:30am, took a quick trip to the hot tub, then had a very nice bit of extra curricular activity with my sweetie (wink wink). Nice to know that after all these years, that type activity is still so much fun and satisfying. Doesn't happen as often as it did in years past, but it is still great and helps me to realize just how very much in love I still am. Amazing!
We had dinner downtown last nnight with a couple we met on a camping trip. (Yes, a gay camping trip!) They are great guys and have been together for about 11 years. They recently moved into a new house and have been working hard to renovate it. We can't wait to see it.
I will be going to the gym in a few minutes. I have found Sundays to be a great day to go, especially when the weather is not too good. When spring and summer are fully here, we will be busy camping and taking our ski boat out to Folsom Lake. Until then, I will continue to use Sundays to help me keep my gym goals.
I found a new recipe for curry on the net this morning. I have decided to try it. That makes Sweetie my test subject. He loves curry and the recipe I usually use is one of his favorites. I hope he likes this one, too.
I hope you all are enjoying a beautiful day.

Wanna know a little bit about Tim?
So just who am I anyway? A bit of a difficult question, especially to put into a few little paragraphs. I guess I will say a little bit, and then add to the description as this little journal evloves.
I am a 48 year old gay man, partnered, and born and raised here in the central valley of California. I was born in a smaller city about 40 miles to the south of Sacramento, officially in the northern San Joaquin valley. Strange thing about California. From about the middle of the central valley and south, the valley is known as the San Joaquin valley. From the middle and north, it is known as the Sacramento valley. I live in Sacramento, actually in a suburb to the east of the city proper. I live in a really great house, at least I think so, in a nice area. We have a wonderful yard with a pool to help us cope with the really hot summer weather we have here.
After many years working in management in the financial services industry, I went to work for the State of California. I (and about forty thousand other people) am technically an empolyee of the Governator. I like my work. It is proving to be a nice way to wind down for the next twelve to fifteen years until retirement. I started in January 2000. I have very little job stress, a nice change after twenty years in the private sector. I work with really nice people and I believe in the mission of my department.
I have many hobbies and preferred activities. I am involved in music in the community, I snow ski, water ski, love to go camping with my sweety in our trailer, and I have a lovely yard that I take great pride in and spend three to four hours a week tending. You might say that I have a special and almost sprirtual relationship with my lawn mower. That's just about the only spiritual thing about me, though. I am in some ways like a reformed smoker- no, I have never been a smoker, but I joined a gym a few years ago and now I go three to four days per week for a twohour routine each time I go. I really love it and this gym stuff has helped me to be in what may be the best shape I ever been in.
I love to cook. My honey and I are great partners in the kitchen, although I do a lot of the cooking myself when we are not having a party or hosting a major holiday. We love having our friends over for dinner. There are very few weekends that we don't invite someone over for dinner. We have a big stainless steel grill on the patio and we love to fire that baby up! So I guess you can say that our house is a bit of a gathering place for our friends.
The weather here is really nice for more than half of the year. It basically does not rain for nearly six months and in the summer it is bone dry and HOT. It can easily be well over 100 degrees for days on end, but humidy is usually well below 20%. Sorry all you wonderful bloggers elsewhere in the country. You can be outside, even on the really warm days, and enjoy things. And, almost no bugs. No screen porches here in California! We have a beautiful pool that helps us keep cool and air conditioning in the house.
There are three months, late November through mid February, where the weather is cold and wet. Fog can be a problem here, but in recent years, it has not been too bad. The really hot weather lasts for about four weeks, mid July through Mid August. The rest of the time is really quite nice.
Today, I got my yard work done just before the start of a rain storm. We are told that the rains will fall this afternoon through midday Sunday. Not bad. We really need the water.
Well, this gay guy has things to do and I certainly don't want to start things off with a dull post. I will be telling about things I have experienced, places I have been, and life here in the west. If anyone ever runs upon this little journal, I hope you will check back by from time to time and see what develops.
Best wishes to all!

Let's start at the very beginning
Well, after being inspired by a number of blogs, I have decided to try my hand at it. I don't know if I will be successful at blogging, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. So here goes.
I am a gay man, partnered for nearly nineteen years to a wonderful guy, living in the wonderful little city of Sacramento, California. I am in my late 40's, but in the best shape I have been in in many years (thank you, gym membership!).
I will try posting my thoughts and some stories about what life has been like within my skin. I will use no real names, even my own, and make things sufficiently vague so as to protect myself and those around me from some of the dangers and troubles that can result from posting in this public forum.
I have no idea how far I will get with this, but an adventure always starts with the first step, right? Come along on the journey with me. There's plenty of room. Settle back, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride.

I have no idea how far I will get with this, but an adventure always starts with the first step, right? Come along on the journey with me. There's plenty of room. Settle back, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride.
