I haven't posted for a while and it wasn't for any reason that I am aware of. After all, I'm still living, going naked and thinking about the world around me.
Last week we went to the Gay Naturist International (GNI) gathering in Pennsylvania. I really, really wanted to go for the full week, but I have taken too many vacations already this year and could only get away for the half week option. So we were there from Wednesday through Sunday. We winded up staying in a cabin with 6 good friends, which was very cool because I love all of them and we get along so well. A friend in the cabin next door also arranged for us to be part of his group, so we even dressed up for all of the themed events. You have no idea what a stir 20 naked men dressed in nothing but rainbow colored balloons can make.
Last night we went to a Labor Day naked pool party and afterward we accompanied a friend to a new, once-a-month leather party, which gave me my first excuse to wear my latex jock strap that I bought in May. The party was actually pretty fun, but I couldn't help comparing it to some of the places in Europe.
On politics.... I've completely lost all faith in the human race. At this point I'm dubious that we'll get health care reform, which I think is the most important new initiative we could possible undertake. But beyond that, having a black president has shown me just how much some of the country hates us and I find that depressing. Perhaps I was just a little too optimistic in the first place. Oh well.

hi, good to have u posting again. Did u meet anyone from europe at the gni party, or is it mainly attended by americans?
i too hope that america will get a more comprehensive and open to all health system. i m grateful for the nhs in uk. it will take time to change the system, so dont get too disillusioned. the system at present is tied v closely to employers contributions, so that only those who are at work get health insurance. it keeps people so afraid to be out of work, it keeps the american workforce in line. That suits the establishment, that is why there is a strong lobby against a national health care. at least that is how it appears to me.
Actually I did meet a very nice couple of londoners who very friendly. Hoping to see them again if I'm lucky enough to get there next year.
As for healthcarem I spent today with family that live in another city. Between my nephew, 2 nieces and brother, every single one of them are currently avoiding medical care for serious issues due to either a lack of insurance or prohibitively high insurance.
