Saturday evening

I began writing a long, detailed entry in my notebook on the Metro Sunday, because I didn't have time to post anything Saturday night, but I decided that was a bit much. So I'm going to boil down five pages of stuff here.

I attended the HIV social, which was very nice. The host, Mark, had a lovely home. I met a guy there, SJT, who works at Walter Reed hospital, owns two cocker spaniels named Sammy and Jenny that he rescued from the pound and four vintage cars. He took great delight in my new haircut and I delighted in his touch as he ran his fingers over it.

We talked for a while, then left the party early to have a private party at his home a few blocks away. He fucked me for about 25 minutes while I jacked my cock and I returned the favor for about 20 more minutes before he came. I didn't come, because I was planning on attending the erotic massage exchange on Sunday. He remarked upon my stamina, which made me feel like a sexual athlete or a porn star. ;-) We showered, and then he and I went to the DC Eagle.

It was my first time at the DC Eagle, and I was, quite frankly, intimidated. SJT and I had separated, because I was there to meet up with DM, who had a couple of guys he wanted to introduce me to. They have a home in Glenmont and they're looking for someone to house sit for them at the end of August. However, DM wasn't there. I waited until 1 am, left a message for him, and struck out for home.

Incidentally, I had two guys approach me at the Eagle, which was nice. I enjoyed having someone to talk to rather than just sitting by the wall for an hour.

Just as the Metro arrived to take me home, DM called me and offered to give me a ride to Rockville to compensate for standing me up. We drove back to Tod's house, arriving there about 2 am. I invited him in, and we talked for a long while, then fooled around for another long while, getting to sleep around 5:30 in the morning.

I have to say that sex with DM was simply amazing. I won't even try putting it into words.

Sunday

Sunday I woke up with DM lying next to me. We fooled around some more (wow!) before he got dressed to leave. I got to try on his kilt, which was an interesting look. I don't think I have any footwear that will go with a kilt, unless cowboy boots would work.

I packed a lunch to take with me to the massage exchange at the Crucible and headed out. I took the Metro to the Navy Yard stop and got a little turned around, finally catching a cab to take me the rest of the way. I arrived about 10 minutes late, but I had called DM and asked him to call ahead for me to let them know I'd be late.

The exchange was very nice; twelve people attended, mostly from the May CBE that I attended. We also had two facilitators, who led us through some of the same exercises that we had in May: undressing each other, sharing concerns and joys, and a snake dance through the space. Then we split into givers and receivers and exchanged massages for the rest of the day.

My big draw this time resulted in waves of pleasure passing through my body rather than the ecstatic grief and sorrow that I experienced at CBE. Once again I could feel the cumulative pressure of the hands that had been on me, still touching me. It was very, very nice.

Sunday evening, Russell, my ex, called to ask if he could crash at todc's place with me and I agreed. He arrived and instantly became fast friends with Lucy, the bitch. (No, really! She is a bitch, technically!) Anyway the little whore whooped it up just as much as when I visit Tod and I'm beginning to think that I'm connected with Tod's disappearance, but the other visitors don't have to carry that baggage. Russell took her for a walk while I washed the coconut oil off my body and when they returned, she was bouncing off the walls. It was very nice to see her having a good time.

It turns out that Russell was at some kind of mystical circle meeting thingie, and mentioned to someone there that he felt drawn to Lucy ever since I had first mentioned her. The guy replied that he had a partner named Steve and that they also had a dog named Lucy, which was a funny coincidence. I have to say that Lucy was all over Russell from the moment he walked in the door, so maybe there was some sort of connection there.

After Lucy's walk, we went to bed. It was a little strange sharing a bed with him again, but I dropped off to sleep. He didn't sleep well, however.

Distributed Incorporation

My company has no home office at the moment, so we needed some way to keep in touch when we're in far-flung locales. We're a Mac shop, so I suggested iChat for its text, audio and video communication features.

My boss is very impressed with the quality of the audio chat, and is eager to try out the video chat. Unfortunately, my video camera is back in Baltimore, but we can put together a demo when I return home.

Of course, we can still rely upon email and file sharing. :-)

I think I'm acquiring a reputation with my boss for proposing interesting solutions to business problems without spending a lot of money. He told me last week that he was impressed with my research capabilities, that I could spend a few minutes on the Internet and find a few approaches to solving a problem.
