I like to take a walk out in the midday. Ah, but I avoid the city after dark
Not a bad week for me. I ran 5 times for over 2.2 miles each time. Eating still a problem, but I will get there soon. I know I can run, and I think next week I’m going to try to reach 2.5 miles each time.
Here is what I’m having a problem with the “gay scene” in Pittsburgh. I know I’m not some great looking guy and I’m not in any type of shape right now. But, if you would have been watching the guys reaction at the bar last night, you would have thought that I was some contagious monster.
Gary & I went out to the Pittsburgh Eagle last night to meet up with a friend of his, Rick, and Rick’s new boyfriend John. We got there first and decided to walk around the second floor, where the dance floor is, and it was, as usual, packed. Gary decided we should walk around the dance floor, and as we walked around, Gary about 5 feet in front of me, I noticed a strange phenomenon. The guys would squeeze a bit closer when Gary walked up to them, and then they were pushing themselves the opposite way when I walked up.
Now I know Gary is smaller than I am, but it started becoming a bit obvious that they were contorting themselves like they were alternate members of Cirque de Soleil! I’ve been to The Eagle many times before, obviously, but I never noticed the guys parting like a herd of elephants were coming through Red Nile right behind Moses when I walked through a crowded room.
It isn’t like I was trying to cruise guys or anything like that. I had my hands on my pockets and was innocently looking around. Maybe it was just me noticing something that wasn’t there, or maybe I was just seeing it for the first time. Maybe the contrast between Gary in front of me having to squeeze through the boys and then the guys jumping out of my way made it obvious.
Or maybe I’m just paranoid. I think I better get a hold of my food intake soon or I might be seeing things that may or may not be there.
