Traveling Next Week

After a two month break, I'm on another business trip next week. To say that the urge to cross dress has been surging lately would be an understatement. A Monday to Friday trip might seem like a long time, but it really isn't. A whole day to myself would be better than a few nights. Maybe things will go my way and I'll be able to take an early leave.

Anyway, shopping will be part of the trip. My experiment with running in women's workout clothes from a previous trip taught me a few things like wash anything with color before wearing it (duh!) and what I should be looking for when buying clothes. The white sports bra would be good for wearing under a regular shirt, and the Nike below has removable pads.

The tank top below looks androgynous enough to wear anywhere, as does the t-shirt (very cute!).

A pair of capri pants and pink shoes would complete the outfit nicely.
Now for other clothes. I saw these leggings on the Hue website. They might be harder to get away with in public, but I'm sure that once I'd put them on I'd be more than ready to wear them out.
But with what kind of shoe? Those running shoes would look okay. Heels, though, would send me into orbit. I doubt I could wear them out in a very public place - probably best for just in the hotel room or around the hotel.

Jeans. I found a few pair of cute jeans, but I wasn't able to copy a picture to add here. An ideal pair of women's jeans (or any pants) needs to be distiguishable from men's jeans: the fly opening is opposite of men's, an obvious pattern on the back pocket, and with a low rise. The front design should also be different than men's - embellished pockets, or extra buttons, etc. I also couldn't copy a few of the tops I've been looking at. They were fitted, longer cuffs, and covered buttons. I could easily wear them without much notice, but the cups of the bra underneath and the bumps of the straps could easily give me away. I'd wear a shoe like one of these with an outfit like that:

And, of course, lingerie underneath - stockings, garter belt, string bikini panty, and bra.

What do I want to do next week after shopping? Take a run in the new outfit. In the other clothes I'd do some more shopping to see how many people notice the outfit and how fast they do. A trip to the Starbucks and the adult book store are also in order. There are always a lot of women at Starbucks, and it's fun to be noticed there. I can be a bit naughty at the adult book store. No, I don't do things with strangers there, but it is another place to go dressed up.

As usual I should have some "me" time in the hotel room, surfing on the Internet and chatting with others. Hopefully, I'll take some pictures to post.

Great panty video! You need to see it!

Do you like to look at asses (women's or men's) and then rate them? Maybe you secretly do in your mind as they pass you by during the day. If so, the folks at American Apparel are catering to your hobby! They are having a Search for the Best Bottom in the World. Here are the links to women and men. Okay, go forth and ogle!

TMI Tuesday #223 - Masturbation Edition

This TMI is from last week, and I thought the questions were interesting.

1. When you masturbate, how long, typically, is your session and what do you think about (other than having an orgasm)? I like to edge - multiple cycles of stimulation up to the brink of orgasm, stopping to calm down, then repeating - so my typical sessions can be for hours. When I travel and have nothing else to do in the evenings (or after running and/or dinner), I can edge from 3-5 hours before orgasm. Not sure what the longest session was.

2. Have you ever been "caught" masturbating? Only once that I know of. It was late at night, she had gone to bed, and I was at the computer. An hour later she came in to see what was keeping me up.

3. Have you ever masturbated in front of your computer? If 'yes' was it for your own purposes or for someone's viewing pleasure? Lately in front of the computer is the main place I do it. Before computers and internet porn, I used to have quite a collection of magazines (and I still have a few years of Leg Show), and I'd either do it on the bed or on the couch. Now that there's so much on the internet (pictures and video), I'm usually there surfing and doing it. And since I don't have a web cam, it's been only for myself.

4. Have you ever attended a group masturbation party? Same-sex or mixed? No, and this is something I've seriously wanted to do for a very long time. Seeing others and being seen by others all going at it together (but no contact between anyone) would be such a turn on, everyone doing their own thing. Talking to eachother, cheering others on, hearing others' moans and groans, all of it would be so exciting. Any volunteers?!!

5. When masturbating, as you reach orgasm, do you continue to stimulate yourself without interruption, or do you stop and apply pressure until your spasms subside? Or? I usually stop to clean up the mess.

6. Have you ever video'ed yourself while masturbating (solo)? Where are they now? I have a few times. Most were deleted soon afterwards (bad camera angle, poor lighting). There's one at my Flickr account.

Bonus (as in optional): How often do you use the word "fuck" (or its derivatives) in casual conversation - frequently, occasionally, rarely, never. I don't use curse words too often. The more they are used casually the less power they have when used.

Argh! It's been too long since my last post, and there really hasn't been much going on to blog about. And I haven't had much time to read your blog either. Trying to fnd time...

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! In Philadelphia about a foot of snow fell a couple days before Christmas so it was very white for the first time in many years. And, on cue, it warmed up, rained, and all the snow melted on the day after. I had a nice bit of time off of work from just before Christmas through the New Year’s weekend, and didn’t spend much of any of it on line. Most of it was spent eating, playing on the Wii and the Wii Fit Plus that we bought for Christmas, and brewing a batch of beer. I do have to recommend the Wii Fit Plus for anyone that doesn’t have it. It’s much more interactive than just playing games with a hand controller.

The New Year also started with another business trip to Florida. On one hand I would have liked to have stayed home, but on the other it was somewhat warmer in Florida than Philadelphia. I say somewhat because Florida’s been having the coldest weather in 90 years. A co-worker also made the trip with me, being more of an annoyance than anything else. He’s the type that is constantly talking and whining about something or another, and somehow doesn’t seem to really listen to what others are talking about. We went to see “Avatar” in 3D the one night, and I hoped for a few hours of silence to enjoy the film. However, he managed to make comments from the start of the previews all the way through the ending credits. Fantastic movie by the way! If you haven’t seen it I highly recommend it. And make it the 3D version. It would be a very good movie in 2D, and the 3D is just beautiful. It’s not like older 3D films that were gimmicky with the effects, or that the effects were so bad that they seemed forced. No, the 3D was so real and life-like that I forgot it was in 3D – it was very natural and immersive.

Anyway, I tryed to keep up with the blogsphere last week with little success. Nothing new to speak about with crossdressing or other sexual antics. Last week I didn’t have much time for anything other than some “me” time after late dinners while surfing on-line. I’m back in Florida again this week so maybe I’ll have some time to have some fun. Hopefully this week will be much better. I’ll run a couple of the nights, maybe head up to the outlet mall one night (especially since Victoria’s Secret is having their semi-annual sale!). I could use a new pair of women’s jeans, and a new pair of heels are always fun.

Day 2 (posted on Day 3): I stared out yesterday afterwork planning to be good. I showered, changed, and went to the big Sawgrass Outlet Mall to do some Christmas shopping. And I stayed good there - only buying "work" panties (plain cotton whities that I wear under my work clothes) to replace the worn out ones, and a sweater at Banana Republic. Dinner was take-out from PF Changs, and the beer I drank while eating in my hotel room was a Santa's Butt porter. That's when trouble started. I had planned on just watching "Watchmen" last night and getting a good night's rest. The pint of beer with 8% ABV was just enough for me to start surfing the web while eating (and the panties I was wearing (and nothing else)) just added to my salacious thoughts. I watched a few porn vids and chatted with a few Yahoo chat friends. Then, just as I was ready to 'spill the beans', some malware started downloading on my laptop. So I spent the next 2 hours exorcising the demons. Kharma I guess.

Day 3 (today): Not much has gone right at work today. Maybe the afternoon will be more productive. It's been pouring down rain here too. I went out for lunch to a Cuban diner for take-out. Here's how the conversation went:

Me: "I'd like to order a choripan and a naranja to drink." (a Spanish sausage sandwich and a fresh-squeezed orange juice)
Cuban waitress : "Chicharron de pollo y dos naranja?" (marinated chicken chunks with rice & onions, a side of black beans, another side dish, and two orange juices)
Me: "No, una choripan and an oraange juice.
Her: "Una chicarron y dos naranja."
Me: "No." Me pointing to the menu at the choripan. "Una choripan."
Her: "Okay."

Ten minutes later I have an order of chicharron de pollo and I had to stop her from making the second orange juice. I thought about sending it back, but I had to get back to work. After eating about 1/2 a chicken and all of that rice, I'd have to say that was about the best chicken I've had in a very long time! I don't have room to eat the french fries and black beans. So maybe the afternoon will go better...

This week's trip - Day 1: A co-worker lent me the DVD "District 9". It's the science fictin movie about a group of aliens that come to Earth and are housed in slums in South Africa. Did you see it? The lead character reminds me of 'Michael Scott' from 'The Office'. It was an okay movie, a good rental. While I watched it I ate some sushi take-out and drank a Mad River Brewing Co. Steelhead Scotch sytle porter and a Lagunitas Brown Shugga' Ale. Both were very good. And I did all of this in my panties.

Treacle over at Stockings Addict Lingerie Blog is having a Christmas contest for a Kiss Me Deadly waist cincher. Go check it out!!

To continue my thoughts from the last post, the kicker for me is being alone while on these trips - something I hate. The appeal of the Internet is the easy way of connecting with others, and that then makes the idea of meeting people IRL even more tempting. Conversely, I like being around people, but hanging out with folks from work is the last thing I want to do on these trips. I'm not looking forward to January when one of my co-workers will be going with me for at least one of the trips.

So the trip for next week is booked, only four days instead of five. What's on the after work agenda? Running two or maybe three of the nights for sure. I do have some Christmas shopping to do, so I should plan a trip to the outlet mall. There is also a Jai Alai arena there. I've seen the sign while going to the airport and thought about going to see a match. And I've never driven through Ft. Lauderdale or Miami, so that could be something to do. There's a Blockbuster nearby, so there's renting a movie or two.

Might be making another trip next week for a couple of days - just tentative at this time. If I do go, I need to plan my time better. Last week I kind of let my lust guide my after-work activities. Sure, I ran two nights (and haven't' had a chance since then). But I want to do more that just run and hang out on the Internet all night. I can't make going to that Starbucks a too-frequent event - there's more to life than being "that weird guy." I wish there was some sort of fetish group that met there so I could be just one of many weird people.

Over the months I've been chatting with another crossdresser that lives very close to the hotel at which I stay. We've never met IRL, and I'm not sure he's seen any of the pictures I've posted here or at my FetLife profile. The small pictures I've seen of her are very nice - she makes a much better CD than me! We were supposed to meet last week while I was out on a run and shw was walking her dogs, but our paths didn't cross as I was looking for the wrong person. Anyway, we toyed about going to one of the adult stores or to one of the CD/TV nightclubs in the area. Part of me wants to, part of me doesn't. I mean, she's so much better looking than me in girl mode that I'd feel awkward as I'm not passable. And the thought of being with her at either of our places is kind of uncomfortable as I've never been alone with another CD before. Not to say that anything sexual would be on the agenda. I'd be more comfortable if there were another CD/TV or (even better and especially) a woman.

I've also been chatting with a M/F couple from FetLife. He's a Dom and she's his sub, and they were looking for someone to dominate by phone. After a few weeks of e-mails as Yahoo chats, we did speak by phone last week. They certainly fit my bill for compatiblity. I told them that if we were ever to meet, I'd be subservant to both of them, and I'd do anything to serve Her like a princess. So far it's been fun to play like this. Not sure if anything IRL will have the chance to happen.

Hmm, I've seemed to have lost a Follower, but I can't remember who.

Day 3. Here's the sports bra I bought for tonight's run.I first planned to wear this shirt on top of it, but the bra isn't very visible.

So I changed into this white shirt. A bit better.

And after the run - very visible. I know that at least one girl saw the bra when I ran past her and her boyfriend.

As you can see here, the color ran from my sweat.

And now I'm in these shorts.

Stripes

The socks are from American Apparel. They are so much better than the ones from Target.

How was your Thanksgiving? I ran a Turkey Trot 5K and came within 8 seconds of my personal record for that length. Next 5K I'll try to break it. Not much other news from the weekend.

Florida trip Day 1: I arrived at the airport earlier than usual due to the availability of my ride to the train station. I checked in and found that the airline rescheduled me to an earlier flight. Great! There was a slight delay getting on the plane, but it wasn't until everyone was on that they announced that, due to a change in the aircraft's original destination, they needed to unload some of the fuel. So we sat there for 1-1/2 hours. All in all, this "earlier" flight was only 20 minutes earlier than my original flight.

Tonight after work I ran a few miles with a bra under my shirt. It was visible in the light, but not in the dark that I ran in. I don't think anyone saw me. Tomorrow I'm planning to go to a sporting goods store to get a jogging bra and tank top. After showering I put on my black & white outfit - black stockings, black bra, white panties, white blouse, black pants - and went to buy a new pair of heels and then to the adult store. I wish they had a better selection of shoes. At the adult store I watched a movie in the arcade, something along the lines of a mother-daughter swap among friends. Later I went to a Starbucks for some coffee - and got a few good looks from a table of four girls and a table of an older couple. Now I'm having some 'me' time at the hotel room.

I know I haven't posted in a while, and the posts have been few and far between. I've spent more time commenting on others' blogs, and I was without Internet access for most of last week. I will try to post more. Separating my blog entries from my Facebook posts is another reason for the lack of posts. I'd post more here, but if someone were to stumble upon duplicate posts/pictures, my cover would be blown.

In a round-about way I'll just say that I've been an active runner in the last few months running longer races. And I won another award for one of my homebrews.

And my hopes for having some fun during my next trip to Florida may be hindered by a co-worker that wants to go there with me to do some other work at the plant. Up to today I was really looking forward to mixing crossdressing and running, taking some candid pictures, and just have some good 'ol naughty fun. Hopefully his wife will have to go out of town that week and he'll have to stay here.

Jamielin's post about crossdressing and running is very inspiring to me. He posted about a recent run where he wore a sports bra under his running shirt, pink anklet socks, and panties under running shorts. Earlier this year I went running a few times wearing a women's tank top and anklet socks. The top actually felt a lot better than most of the men's shirts I've worn. I wasn't more daring than that as I was running in the evening sun of the middle of the summer. Now that the days are much shorter, I think I should be able to be more daring under the cover of night.


I do have another business trip to Florida sometime before the year's end, so I'll plan a run wearing a sports bra under a running shirt, or maybe even getting a shimmel (a tank top with a built-in bra), anklet socks, and maybe I'll be able to find a pink pair of running shorts (or a running skort or skirt). And either before or after the run I'd have to go somewhere to buy some water and to see who notices my outfit. The hardest part about running in such an outfit would be, well, getting hard. A tight pair of panties under the shorts might help, or not, or just make it better!

Just thinking about this is making me very horny.

Contest: Gender Carnival!

I saw this over at Heartbreak Nymphomania. Go over to her blog and post your answer to the question "What does gender mean to YOU?" She's giving away some great adult toys (see her blog for complete details).

My answer: That’s a deep question. For me gender is more about the mind than the physical aspects of sex. I mean, the one who has the penis is the males sex, and the vagina the female sex (almost always). Gender is more about what that person thinks of themself. Does the person think themself a male or female, or some combination of both? Gender is also how they want to project themselves to others. Do they take on the stereotypical traits of the male or the female, or a combination? As a crossdresser, I’m male and I like to wear women’s clothes and shave my body hair to be more feminine. I take on some of the traits of women, but I’m obviously a man.

Wikipedia has a pretty good entry on it.

The weekend:

1. A week ago I bought a new TV, an HDTV, and this past weekend I picked up the HD cable box from the cable service. It took me most of Saturday and Sunday afternoon to connect the cable box, the VCR/DVD player, the TV, and the stereo together. The arrangement is not perfect, but it'll do for now. I can watch the HD channels, listen to CDs using the DVD player (I ran out of room for the stand-alone CD player), and listen to the TV through the stereo. The crutch in all this is the VCR/DVD player. I know, who still uses a VCR? (The same guy that still has about 60 music cassettes.) Since it's a combo device using just one set of cables doesn't do much good. In the perfect arrangement I'd have component cables from the DVD output to the TV, as well as the co-axial cable from the VCR output to the TV, and DVD audio output to the stereo. I just need more cables. I think if I use a DVI cable to connect the cable box to the TV and use the component cables on the DVD player I should be set. ramble, ramble, ramble... Anybody know if a DVI cable is better than component cables?

2. Not that there was much else to do. A pair of Nor'easters came up the coast Thursday and soaked the region with rain until Sunday morning. I did get a run in Sunday morning. That felt good as I didn't have time to run all week. I'll be running a 10K this coming weekend and I need to be in good form for it. The cute girl I usually run with won't be there.

3. A neighbor called to ask for some moving help Sunday afternoon. I sat around messing with the cables while I waited for him to call me back, but he never did.

4. Sex was on the menu Saturday morning! We had a good roll in the hay as they say. Just wish we have more time for it. I like having sex when I wake up in the morning, but she prefers it after showering. It's just too darn comfy in the bed for me to get out for all of that!

5. My sister called to say that they had some of the homebrew I gave them, but she couldn't tell me which one they drank, the bourbon barrel porter or the amber ale. Was it dark like coffee or lighter like iced tea? Did it taste like bourbon or more like regular beer? Nope, she couldn't remember what they drank. Oh well. I will be entering both into an upcoming competition later this month.

Here's some eye candy.

test

Two posts in one day! As you ma=y have noticed I haven't been traveling since early September. This has been a good thing as it has allowed me to catch up on a lot of stuff that was getting put off due to traveling. At first this was great - I was tired of the constant back-and-forth, cramped flights, not sleeping in my own bed, etc. The up side was that I was accustomed to having lots of time to dress up in my girly clothes, go out for some fun in them, spend (probably too much) time masturbating and surfing the Interweb for porn and chats after work every night. Now I'm getting a bit antsy. I'm horny all the time, and it seems that in the last 6 weeks either 'Aunt Flow' has been at our house or one or both of us has some sort of cold. I'm starting to miss all the 'me' time I had.

No, I wouldn't want to trade this life for that. I just need a little bit of it. I want some time to go shopping for some new girl-clothes, to dress up, to edge for a long while.

No, I'm not dead. I was outside the Interweb for most of last week. Hope to post something interesting this week.

I missed Dita's birthday too. Pictures at the link.

The shoe phone for the fashionable.

Who were you in a past life?

I saw this over at The Eternal List and thought it'd be fun to try. Here's my past life:

Your past life diagnosis: I don't know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation. You were born somewhere in the territory of modern Mexico around the year 725. Your profession was that of a builder of houses, temples and cathedrals.

Your brief psychological profile in your past life: You had the mind of a scientist, always seeking new explanations. Your environment often misunderstood you, but respected your knowledge.

The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation: Magic is everywhere around you, even in the most usual, most ordinary situations. Your lesson is to understand this magic and to help other people to see it, too. You are a magician!

Do you remember now?

So I was a female way back in 725? Maybe that's why I crossdress now. I wonder what women wore back then? Surely they did not have stockings! A builder - yes, I do like to build things. I am an engineer. Magician? Maybe not in the dictionary term. I do agree with the lesson of helping others to see things.

It was a busy weekend - birthday parties Saturday and Sunday afternoons, a get-together Saturday night, and I ran the Philadelphia Disatnce Run (1/2 marathon) on Sunday morning. Perfect weather all weekend long for everything. This was the second time I've run the PDR, and I was about 3 minutes slower this time. Not bad considering that I came down with a cold last Thursday. I ran well the first 8-9 miles, then my lungs started to tighten up and I couldn't keep up the pace. Another way to look at it is that I beat about 9,500 of the 12,000 people that finished the race.

As I mentioned in the previous post, Facebook has sucked me in and I'm spending too much time over there instead of here.

I haven't had to travel to Florida since August 21st, and I'm not sure when I'll be back there (maybe not until November or December). I was so busy on the last trip that I didn't have too much fun time to myself. However, I did go to American Apparel to buy a pair of thigh-high tube socks and found a nice pair of heels at another store. I was able to dress up that night and went to the area's adult store and picked up a small silicone masturbator - it's basically a thick silicone sleeve (outer diameter about the size of a beer can) with a small hole in the middle and ridges down the interior. I had only enough money in my pocket for it, and the owner threw in some lube for free, saying I've been a good customer (Thanks!). Driving back to the hotel I stopped at the Starbucks for a coffee. Not sure if anyone noticed the striped tube socks under my white pants, although a few women did notice my heels. Back at the hotel I stripped down to my lingerie, opened the masturbator and lube, pulled up some porn on the Internet and got busy. Wow! I never used one of these before, and now I can't think of why I haven't. Sure, it's not the real thing, but it sure feels better than just a hand. It was short enough, or I should say that I'm long enough, that on the down stroke the head of my cock would pop out the end. I used it to stroke the shaft, the head with short strokes, and both with long stokes. I've a very sensitive head and it took some concentration to keep my cool in the heat of things. If you've never used one on yourself or your partner, try it. Next time I'll post pictures.

The vacuum that is Facebook has sucked me in. Help!

So I've started adding friends, mainly by looking at their lists and adding from that. It seems that every name I'd put in the search box comes up empty. One of the odd things about connecting with friends that I haven't seen in upwards of 20 years is that our relationship has not progressed since then. I mean, talking (or writing) to them now is like picking up where and how we left off back then. One example, there was this girl in grade school with whom I was good friends in a grade school kind of way. In high school I had a huge crush on her, but being the shy, unconfident, geeky kid I was (or I thought I was), I could never get past "Hi". Although we were on the same bus everyday, we were in different cliques at school and I couldn't bring myself to work up the courage to talk to her. Then her family moved to another state. I saw her at a few of the reunions since then, but once again I was the deer in the headlights. So, now I saw her in Facebook as a friend of several other of my friends. Do I friend her? No, too nervous. Does she even remember me? What would I say? Anyhow, she friended me today. And all I could manage was a "Hi!" on her wall. Its just like it was in high school.

So what's new with you? A few things are new around here:

At the end of my last trip I went to this restaurant for lunch before my flight home. The picture does not do the lady talking on the cell phone justice. She had a smoking hot body! I'm thinking she's in her late 50's by the man she was with. I noticed her mostly unbuttoned blouse and her shoes when she walked in. The first table they sat at she had her back to me. Her jeans road down enough that I could tell she wasn't wearing anything underneath. Thankfully they sat where they did as it gave me a better look at her nice breasts. If I could have only gotten a better picture!

Brewed on Saturday. I made a clone of New Belgium's Fat Tire Amber Ale. The brewery is in Colorado and they don't distribute in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or Florida. I haven't had one since I was in Colorado in 2000. I very much recommend you try one if you haven't. My beer's in the fermenter and will be ready for bottling in about 2 weeks, then another 3 or more until its ready to drink.

Picture of Philly: City Hall
The Hard Rock Cafe (tourists only):The Comcast building. That's where all of your cable and internet money goes! Seriously, if you ever do visit Philly you must visit this building. The ginourmouse video wall in the lobby can only be seen to be believed - words just don't do it.

Saturday I went to The Star Trek Experience at the Franklin Institute in Philly. Unless you are die-hard Trek fan, skip this. I'm a die-hard Trek fan and wish I had spent my money elsewhere. It was mostly a display of the various uniforms and costumes from the various TV series and movies. There were a few large props and some small ship models. There was a recreation of the bridge from ST:TNG and Kirk's chair, both of which one could have their picture taken by the staff. Although when we were at both stations no photographer was around. A group ahead of us got a really good photo of them on the bridge. The gift shop was very much laking in anything that wasn't already available in stores, except Ben Franklin in a uniform on a mug and key chain. The "space simulator" was interesting to watch (I didn't go in). Compared to last year's Star Wars exhibit, this was a dud. Star Wars had a much larger display area, many more ship models, interactive displays, and was a much more integrated exhibit. Maybe Star Trek was better in other cities.

I'm in Miami Lakes again this week. I arrived Monday afternoon and the rest of the work day was pretty much a bust. The equipment was not ready as it was supposed to be, so the technicians worked on them in the afternoon. I left around 6 and went to Total Wine & More to make a six-pack for the week's enjoyment, and then I went to the outlet mall. I bought a pair of American Apparel's thigh-high tube socks, new stockings, and a pair of heels. I could have spent a lot more time there. Maybe another day this week.

An estimated 720 beers on those racks!!

And as I was surfing the Interpornet last night I came across this and proceeded to, well, you know ;) I think it would be fun to be the guy in that video. There's just one or two thing that they do to him that I would not like, butt for the most part it would be a fantasy cum true.

As I may have mentioned, I'll be back in Miami Lakes next week, M-F. I was hoping to for a shopping adventure after the work days were over, but that might not be the case. My co-worker that was there this week ran into a lot of problems and didn't make much progress on the project. That means I'll need to do a lot of catch-up work to stay on schedule. Argh! I'll have to work harder & faster to make enough time have some fun.

Is anyone else having problems with their "Blogs I'm Following" on their Dashboard? Mine aren't here today.

Edited to say that it was fixed yesterday.

Last week's business trip was OK. Nothing spectacular. A couple of nights of running. I did go see the latest Harry Potter movie. Pretty good! Not for those not interested in HP or that haven't seen/read the previous movies/books in the series.

One highlight was a trip to the Total Wine and More in Pembroke Pines. I went up that way to find something for dinner. I didn't really have anything in particular in mind and I did want to drive the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder around. I had been to the Total Wine in Miami Lakes and was impressed. Not a big store, but it had a fairly good selection. So you could understand my complete amazement when I went into the Pembroke Pines store. It was HUGE - about the size of a very large grocery store. Didn't spend much time looking at the wine and liquor aisles - I went straight for the beer. They had a very, very wide variety of single-bottles for sale (I'll make an estimate next trip) - in the hundreds. And not just one or two types from each brewery - almost all the offerings. I went on Thursday night (leaving on Friday) so I couldn't stock up on a few different beers. I just picked one, Mississippi Mud's Black & Tan, and I was happy that night. Sure, there were many, many, many, many that one could say are better, or could have been a better choice. But I was like a deer in the headlights - stunned by too many choices. Next trip I'll go there on the first night and pick up at least one bottle of a different beer for each night I'm there.

And I'll do that on my way to the outlet mall in Sawgrass. I didn't bring any girl clothes with me last trip and I really wished I did. The next trip I'll head up there for some new clothes. American Apparel had a lot of nice things in a kind of slutty way. There were a few shoe outlets which I hope have my size in women's shoes. I'm sure I could find at least a few nice bra & panty sets at one of the underwear stores. And maybe jeans and a top. I'm thinking about trying what I described in the last post - putting on each thing as I go from store to store so that by the end I've gone from wearing all male clothes to all female clothes. I'd be fun to shop with someone.

Hi everyone! I've been away from the Internet for a while. First, there was the Phillies game almost two weeks ago. Here's the highlights of the rain delay:

Then I went on vacation to the New Jersey shore. It was very relaxing - sit on the beach in the morning & afternoon, go to the hotel's pool in the late afternoon, eat seafood for dinner, and then ice cream at night. Funny thing about the beach we go to - it's mostly families and the eye candy tends to be girls in their late teens and their hopefully hot moms. I mean, I'm looking at these girls not too far from where I'm sitting, or as they walk by, and I'm thinking "Wow!". Then I realize that they are probably only 15 or 16. And I have to remind myself not to stare so as not to become a creep. One interesting photo:

Then I participated in a relay race across New Jersey, 92 miles divided by 7 people. Again, lots of eye candy during the race. Here's my proof that I made it to the sea:

The finish line at night:

And now I'm back in Miami Lakes this week. During my last trip I went up to the huge Sawgrass Mills shopping outlet mall. Lots of neat things at sometimes bargain prices. I didn't have a chance to shop for girl-clothes as I was with a few other folks from work. Maybe this week I can go back and pick up a few things. I was chatting with another CD and we thought it would be fun to go to the mall in male clothes and proceed to progressively buy a female outfit and change into those clothes as we went from store to store, so by then end of the trip we'd be in all-female clothes. I may have to try that if I can find some time. Here's this week's rental car!

Just call me naive. I've been traveling here to Florida since late February and I just realized this week that one can buy beer at liquor & wine shops - single bottles and six-packs. I mean, back in Pennsylvania, one can only buy wine & liquor in state-run wine & liquor stores. Beer can only be sold in these ways: by the case at distributors, by the six-pack (and sometimes single bottles) in a deli or restaurant that has a license (and then only by a maximum of 12 bottles per visit).

So when I started visiting Florida and saw wine & liquor stores, I just assumed that they only sold liquor & wine. Grocery stores & gas stations/quick-marts do sell six-packs and some single bottles. The selection hasn't been all that great for the couple of grocery stores I've visited. So I was surprised when I went to one gas station Monday night and I found single bottles of Guinness Extra Stout. Woo hoo! Then last night I was surfing the net to see if there were any local microbreweries around that I may have missed earlier. One brewery had a list of local merchants for their beers, and one of them was the wine & liquor store just around the corner that I had been ignoring. So, tonight I went there on my way home from work. Nirvana!! The have an excellent selection of single bottles!! Tonight I'll be drinking a Shipyard Blue Fin Stout and a Youngs Double Chocolate Stout. There were more, so now I have my work cut out for me for future visits.

Last night on my way back to the hotel from shopping I stopped at a quick-mart for a water and a bottle of beer. Much to my luck this girl was at the counter in front of me. The clerk was quizzing her on her ID. I'm not sure what she was buying, but he said that the photo on the ID didn't look like her. She was able to recite her address and other details, and explained that she just turned 21 a few days ago. That bought me enough time to snap this picture.

4ht of July Parade

This woman was with her son in our town's 4th of July parade. I see her every year and she always wears a similar outfit - heels that are too high, an outfit that is more for the clubs than a morning parade. I do look forward to seeing her though. I'd love to ger her legs around me and have some fun with her feet.

This, this, and this - a dream cum true!

The lack of posts is not for a lack of activity. I was in Miami Lakes last week for another trip and did manage to have some fun. It was a very rainy week. No new shoes.

I did make e-mail contact with another CD that lives in the town. She tipped me off to a clothing warehouse nearby that sells cheap lingerie and some other women's clothing. Cheap prices and kind of cheaply made too. The clothing styles cater to the Latino crowd and I think I was the only English speaker there. No problems though. Lots of nice bras, panties, sets, jeans, shorts, and some tops. I just bought a pair of over-the-knee socks (which were short) and a stretchy tank top. Next visit I may go for a pair of jeans and a bra/panty set.

I also was listening to the Sex Spa with Kitty Stuart show on BlogTalkRadio. I can't remember what the topic was, but she was interested in talking to CDs. I only caught the end, but she asked me to send in my thoughts on being a CD. I sent her an e-mail and hopefully will be able to talk more the next week.

Here's some fun from the airport on the way back. This girl was sitting across from me at the gate, busy with her cell phone.

To say that this video is a close-up is an understatement, but I do like watching it.

And here's one of Nina Hartley, and extremely talented actress. I love her personality and how she's in control of the scene. Everything she does she does because she knows the affect its having on him and her. The look in her eyes and that grin on her face completes the effect. And those are the things that make a good actress (or actor). She's just not going through the motions or along for the ride.
