How was your Christmas? I watched some movies at home with my pup. No traditional meal this year for me. I bought this great thick-cut peppered bacon and had a BLT on toasted rye. Found an interesting recipe for a gourmet baked macaroni and cheese -- turned out great but made a lot so I'll be eating it all weekend. Steamed some asparagus and had a glass or three of pinot noir. And desert was a pumpkin bread with a cream cheese filling I'd made the night before. I'll be eating that all weekend, too.

Keith's encouraging me to take some time off during the holidays and suggested I go to one of the Japanese baths or to Steamworks. I've never been to Steamworks so that's sort of intriguing. Though two weeks ago I was at a holiday party and one of the guests does some sort of medical research on infectious diseases. He was relating a story about how they'd been contacted (by a city agency maybe?) to see if they could help with an outbreak of TB that seems to be centered around one of the adult bookstores south of Market. (It was fascinating, reassuring and creepy all at the same time learning how they can narrow things down to a source location, the block proximity of the likely initial host's home to the store, etc.) Look, I'm not getting all panicky, and getting on the underground and touching all the railings can't be much more of a health risk than an ABS, but go get yourself tested routinely not just for STDs if you're active but get yourself a TB test every now and then, too.

So maybe I'll just stick to me, myself and porn because Gabe does not need to even flirt with TB. I could entertain myself almost endlessly watching scene 4 of Berlin Privat 6. Based solely on the cum shot in that scene I've selected the video to write up my first review. The rest of it's good too but man-oh-man what a great shot.

Ok, all Sex Listings submitted between last Saturday night and this afternoon are online. Maybe I've mentioned this before but please refrain from 'Heads up' items like this:

Watch out for the cops and their sting operation!

That's a given for any public cruising location. It's simply not helpful to repeat it as a comment on every public location in the Listings.

This was one of the best updates to come in over the last couple of days. Maybe I should venture to the East Bay not only to check out Steamworks:

California - Northern San Francisco: Aquatic Park, Bolivar Drive, Berkeley. Cruisy parking lot. This update added December, 2008: "Checked this place out after reading an ad online for quick anonymous encounter on the north end early evening and found a hot Latino guy by the restrooms. I rubbed my crotch and he followed me to the picnic area and I fucked him deep, hard, and came twice while I had him bent over the picnic table. Hot! Made plans to meet again the next night and found him there getting plowed by a black dude with a huge cock. I joined him and we tagged team for a good hour. The pace was quiet for the most part and great place for anonymous encounter."

I do so love our travelers and their tips. Hotels.com doesn't let you filter based on dick accessibility:

Netherlands Amsterdam: Hotel Anco, Overvruyggat Canalstraat 55. Motel with bathhouse-type action. This update added December, 2008: "Hotel on a canal where you can go naked inside, cruise for dick, and leave your room door open safely. Just be forewarned that there is no elevator, just a steep, tight spiraling staircase that is murder on getting bags up and down. But the available meat here is cool, all ages, all types."

Oh, and look! A recent graduate of the Paris Hilton School of Humility, Compassion & Emotional Depth:

Connecticut East Haven: Romantix Adult Emporium, On Foxon Road. Bookstore with arcade. This update added December, 2008: "What the fuck is up with trolls everywhere. Get a job. It's the same ones too, seems like they live there. It's not that I hate anyone but when you say leave me alone they don't. They keep coming back, or asking if you want head. I am nineteen years old so why would I want a sixty year old to suck my cock. Or even watch me. Damn it's frustrating when you’re waiting for a hottie to come in and they bug you."

What's wrong with spending your retirement chasing dick? Beats jigsaw puzzles and The Weather Channel. And dude, think about this: those men think you're sexy and immensely appealing. Being gracious and appreciative of something that will be fleeting only requires that you enjoy the attention and let them watch. They get off. Your ego's fed (god help us). Everyone wins. And who knows? Maybe one day some old troll who's maybe like thirty-nine or forty years old will somehow manage to have you saying "yes, daddy, please!"

Enjoy the weekend, gentlemen. I hope you're in the midst of a nice, long four-day one. Here's your list of updated locations.
