Well, this site just blew past its 15 millionth hit yesterday. It’s almost always a pleasure to update this blog daily and it sure is nice to be appreciated for that effort. I’d like to thank you all for dropping by daily, regularly, infrequently, or even just once. And a BIG thanks to all the photographers, models, and artists who’s images I’ve posted over the years. As always, if you own an image and either don’t want it posted here or it was posted without credit and you want credit just drop a comment and I’ll take care of it within 24 hours.

Seems like a good time to reintroduce myself as well since the description in the “About” section was written in 2009 (?) when I started this site.

I’m a short, lean/muscular, 60 year old guy who acts/works/feels like a 45 year old running circles around people younger than me. I am indeed a lumberjack half the year but I do cutting for forest management, views, and landscaping rather than massive clearcuts in large logging/timber operations. The other half of the year I’m a professional gardener doing garden installation & maintenance work in gardens for wealthy people who have seasonal homes or estates on the island I live on. Before all this fun outdoor work I worked as a project manager on millions of dollars worth of community and economic development projects in rural Maine, mostly in affordable housing, water, and small business loans.

I grew up in Boston and Montréal, also lived two years each in Philadelphia and in Switzerland, have spent a lot of time in México and the Caribbean, and have also visited western Europe numerous times. I speak passable French and some Spanish. I think I’ve been to something like 35 states as well as DC, Puerto Rico, & US Virgin Islands. Favourite places I’ve visited (for different reasons): Scotland, Swiss alps, Paris, Tuscany, NYC, Costa Rica, and various places I’ve snorkeled on tropical reefs.

I’ve lived on this island for 35 years. It may be remote but I have a nice warm ocean-view home (no, not a unabomber cabin) and all the amenities including high speed internet and cell service. I love living in the wilderness though, as you can imagine, it has its pros and cons and that’s why I also travel some when I can – usually to cities with people, restaurants, action.

Oh, and I am currently available. Like as in who wants to date a gay lumberjack? Let me know and maybe we’ll make that happen somehow.
