Greetings from Palm Springs.
Spo-fans know I like Palm Springs. There is nothing specific about the place, it is merely nice to be here. Perhaps it is simply because we are ‘on holiday’. There is also an element of being surrounded by ‘so many men’. The place drips with sensuality (and sexuality). Scruff men are everywhere, and it is nice to be so ‘wanted’ hohoho.
The main point of this PS weekend was to see our chums. We had a delightful time with DougT and Leon AKA The Wild One. We four solidified the February plans for Puerto Vallarta next. An Inndulge guest, “Larry of Ohio”, showed us his many photos of the city. On his recommendation we decided to stay at “Villa David”. It looks lovely,
But the highlight of the trip was meeting Shawn. Shawn (the dear!) is a #1 Spo-fan, one of my most regular and intrepid readers. I am deeply touched by this, and even more honored he came out to meet us. I always worry I will disappoint when people actually meet me. Shawn certainly was no disappointment! He is as sweet a guy as I imagined him. We had a delightful time. I hope we grow in friendship.
Anne Marie – this photo is for you!
Now it is back to the salt mines after we have Sunday Brunch at Azul. The drive home is always a bit melancholy. On the four hour drive I wonder what will happen to me now, and where am I going in the long run. Will I someday join the retirement community of Palm Springs? Will I drop dead rather? Does my Journey have any real path to it?
Mostly I wonder how soon can I return to Palm Springs.

i am green with envy. as mentioned before, i go out to PS often. i have usually stayed at the clothing optional places, with great fun resulting, but these days i might consider a shift in scenery toward the more conservative. not worried about showing the ‘ol bod, just not so much into the sexual, alas! i have stayed at innexile, which may be in competition with inndulge, or maybe the owners just lack imagination! i have stayed at the ace, which is hipster haven, but fun, except the food at the restaurant is way too mediocre. not sure what my next trip there will look like, but maybe someday i can meet you there as well.

Weekend amongst the millionaire pure pleasure. Well I hope you don’t drop dead before we meet. I highly recommend retirement as I am now in that mode or almost there.

I am SO JEALOUS! I would love to come out and meet you and Someone face to face for a weekend. However, you know that My Bill doesn’t like to travel. I sent an e-mail to my longtime friend Don of Philadelphia asking him if he would like to make the trip with me. He’s often visited Palm Springs. I’ve never been there. I would like to go at least once before I check out. Just saying.

You could combine the trip to PS with a trip to Phoenix. You’d be a welcome guest at Casa de Harper.

I’ve never been out there. All I know is what I’ve read from you.
It sounds fun!
Speaking of which…
Hope you’re having some!

It looks like you had a great time in Palm Springs. And you’re wearing the hot dog shirt! And Shawn is quite the looker.

Spouse & I are considering a trip to Puerta Vallerta in Feb too, and on a friend’s recommendation are considering Villa David – what a coincidence! When will you be there?

It is the week of Valentine’s Day. It would be jolly good fun if you were there at the same time !
