34 Amity Lane

Ida and myself have begun to call this place "The Compound". The house itself is just a little over two thousand square feet. But it sits on a very large corner lot. From the front of the house, the house is in a V-shape with the point coming out the furthest.

In the backyard the house wraps around a botanist's playground. There are banana trees sitting along side redwoods, we have cala lilies, birds of paradise, agapanthas, iris, many different cana's, a variety of ferns and a host of other plants and flowers. When Batman saw it, he said, "This place is like a resort!".

When I moved in, I had already began to go out less. Now, I rarely want to leave at all. Usually during the week I will hit the gym immediately after work, maybe stop at the store, then come straight home, pop open a beer and relax in the backyard. By the time I get around to fixing something for dinner, it is usually around nine o'clock.

Weekends are my favorite time. In the mornings I like to get errands and chores done so that I can spend the remainder of the day lounging by the pool. It is always fun to see who may stop by. So far there have been days when it is just a few men, maybe a few naked, or a good mixed crowd and everyone enjoys themselves.

This weekend was especially nice. Saturday it reached 94 fuckin' degrees. I loved it. The pool temperature had reached 78 and felt perfect. Being the amateur mixologist that I am, I tried to create a new drink. I called it a "Pink Johnny"- Easy and Fun! One can of frozen pink lemonade, one can full of SKYY vodka, add ice and blend. Naturally, they were garnished with a slice of lemon. They were a little tart, but I liked them! We went through all four cans of concentrate, so I believe others liked them as well.

Vixen came over on Sunday. That girl! I swear, she is a gay man trapped in that body of hers... A very pretty girl overflowing with moxie. We had a good time. I call her my sister-from-another-mister and I am her brother-from-another-mother. We've always had fun together. Originally she was just going to be here for about an hour before meeting another friend of ours at a live Blues event. But Vixen was flaked upon! Karma! So, she called and said she was heading back, I was glad. We had already had a couple PJ's and a shot of Patron plus a little mj. When she got back we tossed back another shot of Patron and cracked open a couple of Heinie's.

Of course G was there and his tan is nearly perfection, or is it that orange suit? He had a few friends over who I have really came to like. Ida stopped by for a short while. Later, boi showed up. He arrived with three water guns, one for each of us roommates, very sweet. Once he left his guard down, I loaded up and G and I got him good! I thought I had better get him before he got me. He got us back by throwing us in the pool.

Shortly after that it was just the three of us. "The Compound" had quieted. We BBQ'd, had a nice dinner, and called it another weekend.

The garden/yard sounds beautiful, so does the weather.
