    Hey John. What mic? The H2’s built-in mic? I used to catch fire flies when I was a young boy. You brought back a memory from my childhood. Cool. No yard signs here in Pelham as yet. I’ll be ordering several Obama signs after the convention. Why several? Just in case some McCain lover steals my Obama signs! GPS? You should have waited for the new iPhone John. My two bedroom two bath townhouse was $125,000.00. $115,000.00 for a two bedroom one bath. NO WAY! Who is “this podcaster” of which you speak? Me? Some of what you said here does not sound like what I’ve said in my podcast. Don’t get to close to that loud barking dog John it’ll tear your leg off. WOW, I’d have picked up a stick and whacked him over the head. So you have me confused with this one John. So I find it interesting that you are open to an open relationship. Or am I misreading this podcast? So you are saying, “if the love is strong between lovers and there exists total trust then having sex with other guys does not endanger the relationship?” I think I’d disagree with you on this point. I think its a slow road to a relationship unraveling. At some point the extramarital affairs would have to cease. If I had someone who really loved me. I would not want to share him with anyone. I just can’t find a guy like that. Perhaps I’m looking in the wrong pond, err nature trail? But I want my cake and eat it too. So I am a mixed up gay man and I would not want anyone to pattern their life after me. This will ultimately end badly. Nice podcast John. But you really need to stop talking about me. It’ll cost you ratings. I’m not well thought of in the gay podcast community. But I love you man. I always will.

    You’re brave to try natto. Just the description has always made me cringe. My Japanese language teacher in college (shoutout to Ioroi-sensei!) was a big fan. And we students could in turn gross her out by talking about cheese. I guess if you think about how cheese is made, it is kind of disgusting, but I grew up with cheese the way she grew up with natto. I know which podcaster you’re speaking of. It is a tricky topic, the open relationship thing. I want to believe that people can be rational enough to make it work, but people and their feelings are so complex and irrational. I used to think I’d want an open relationship, but I know enough about myself now to know that I’d probably just be agreeing to it to make the other person happy, at the expense of my own feelings.

    I was just commenting on Nick’s podcast before I listened to it but I’ll also have a listen to this and comment on it later. So, yeah it’s not very good to do that, but just to let you know I am listening and I will definitely say something on the subject.

    Anyway, hope all is well and I’ll be hearing you in about an hour from now. Creepy, isn’t it? 🙂

    Becareful walking around and try not to get hit by cars! LOL! Its nice to hear the outside sounds as I am a country girl….and it just made it nice to hear your voice while you are outside. Your voice was nice and soothing to fall asleep to. Heheh!

    OK, so I’m back and I actually did #26 to answer this question but I’ll spare you the 30 minutes of bad podcasting. The open relationship thing isn’t the best option for me – I don’t really like it that much but I feel “forced” into it in a way due to a lack of attention with him being gone most of the time. If I had a choice, I wouldn’t do it but like all men, I have sexual urges and sexual needs. And my partner is never sexually available for that, so I am pushed into things. (If that made any sense…) It’s really tough to deal with, but it got me thinking that we have a lot of things to work out because whether I want to admit it or not, I’m still in love. And from what I gather, so is he. We have a meeting place, but we’re still trying to make it there from opposite directions. We need to open our communication rather than keep an open relationship.

    Hmmm….I just can’t seperate sex and love in my head. Plus I have a jealous bone so I just can’t fathom it. I understand what you are saying though, it’s just not somewhere I could ever venture personally.

    BTW, you were kind of huffing and puffing a bit through that walk. LOL!
