If I haven’t been pestering you as much as usual these past few weeks, it’s because I’ve been deep in a plumbing ditch — both literally and figuratively. Plumbers in these parts are as rare and finicky as beauty queens in Alaska. We’re building a mud room / bathroom onto the front of the house, and my attempts to get a plumber to come by were fruitless. So I decided to learn plumbing. Useful knowledge, for sure, although at 62, it’s kind of like learning to speak Spanish after having traveled extensively in Mexico (as I did). Luckily, our pal, Kevin — whom we met at the first Budokon retreat in 2022 — came by and helped (a lot) with the project. One innovation Kevin and I came up with is the use of sex lube to get a rubber collar coupling to slide more easily along the 3” line. Oh yeah, baby. I hope your home repairs are as stimulating.
This year’s Sex at Dawn/Budokon retreat is almost booked up. The slots for single men are all full, but there are a few spaces for women/couples. Drop us a line if you’re interested in joining us in Whitefish in June. Great food, lovely people, amazing location, deep conversation, world-class movement teachers, lasting friendships. Life is short. Carpe diem that shit!
CPR
Hell yes CPR. And Kevin.
