With a mouth like THAT, you kiss your mother?

NOTE: This is an adults-only journal. No explicit sex, per se, but adult situations and language abound. Don't say you haven't been warned.

All of the really good stuff I post here is under friends-only access. If you want to know what's really going on ... ask me to add you to my friends list.

Moved to Sunnyvale on August 8th, 2006, to take up my rightful throne as Ruler Of Silicon Valley. (At least to hear how other people tell it.)

Fiftysomething gay man, originally from Chicago, and living in the SF Bay Area since 1981. I spend a fair amount of time in Chicago, Vancouver, Portland, Seattle and (no, it's not a misprint) Salt Lake City, mostly (except SLC) for square dancing or (in SLC) business.

See my website's "About Allan" page for more details, or write me for the URL to one of the various "alternate" sites on which I've posted a profile.

Married my husband Randy up in Vancouver, British Columbia, where people are much more sensible about things such as same-sex marriage. (And we both plan to retire there some day, as a result.)

Anything else you'd like to know, just ask...

FRIENDING NOTE: I frequently friend people whose comments I find intriguing, and just as frequently de-friend them if I don't feel drawn-in to their journal within a week or so. If I friend and de-friend you, don't be offended; I'm just trying to keep the number of friends' journals I read to a manageable number so I can keep track more easily.

You get BIG points if you know who Tonio K. is.

(Somewhat fewer points given for Todd Rundgren, Peter Gabriel, Grace Slick, or Marillion.)

Я не говорю или читать русский. Если у вас есть дневник, написанный на русском языке, я не буду вам добавить в мой список друзей, и вы не сможете прочитать мои дневник.

Translation, per Google Language Tools: "I do not speak or read Russian. If you have a diary written in Russian, I will not add you to my friends list and you can not read my diary."
