for the past few months, i haven't worked out much due to demands at work and handling my ailing mother's affairs. now that i have some free time i'm slowly returning to a normal workout schedule. i haven't felt strongly motivated to go to the gym until today. on the way to work i stopped by a gym where i saw someone vaguely familiar exiting as i walked in. he's a short, dark-haired, bearded musclebear with a nice smile.

after the initial "i remember you from somewhere" exchange, he, j., reminded me of where we met. about 3 or 4 years ago we saw each other at gold's brannan in san francisco. j., who lived in l.a. at the time, was visiting the bay area on a business trip. during his visit we had dinner and he got to check out my torso back at his hotel room. aside from him copping a feel of my chest nothing happened because he was in a relationship (but i wasn't). looking back, j. said he wished we fooled around because he and his boyfriend broke up a few months later. i told him that it would have been fun, but i'm glad we didn't because i never want to be the 'other' guy. j's comment did boost my ego and made me feel horney.

j. told me that he moved to the s.f. bay area recently and that he's dating someone i know, named p. that was a "it's a small world" moment. j. said that i was a topic of some of their conversations--that made me laugh and wonder what that meant. i saw p. last at the folsom street fair where my boyfriend and i bumped into him; p. was equivalent to 1.5-2 j's in size. j. said that he conjoled p. into dropping weight from 260 down to 230 lbs. so that p. now has a tight 31" waist. of course, i now want check out p's current physique. i exchanged updated contact info. with j., and plan to work out with j. and p. sometime soon.

i guess that fate sometimes provides you with all the motivation you need to work out.

So what's happened with J, P, and you over the last 7 months?

Sorry for taking a while to respond. Not much to say about J. & P. since I haven't seen them in 4-5 months. I didn't see J. in any of the posted pictures for the Chicago Gay Games BB event(s). Sometime in the near future, I'll send them an email to see what they've been up to.

As for me, my gym time has been fairly minimal in the past 6 months for various reasons, so I haven't seen J. at the gym. In the past month I've been trying to make time to go to the gym at least 3x/week. In another month or so, I'll know if I've gotten myself back in a workout routine.

Cheers,
