This man has been a #gay #mentor or like a gay #father figure to me over about 30 years of #friendship. Both of us are #Leo’s - and his name is Leo, too - we are here having our annual #birthday lunch. Back when I was writing #features and #columns about my #gay life and experiences for the #queer publication, XTRA! many of the pieces I wrote were #inspired by long #conversations we’d share over a J about our experiences in #Toronto’s gay social / #sex scene; Leo was always one of the #audience I kept in mind as I wrote anything humorous, too. If I thought Leo would find what I wrote #funny, I kept it. Everyone should be so #blessed to have a strong figure in their lives, who takes them seriously, is curious, open-hearted, to whom you can tell anything, and who #inspires you as Leo has done for me, for three wonderful decades. I’m a #lucky guy. #ThoughtRevolution (at O'Grady's Bar and Restaurant on Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmY-fgh3oo/?igshid=1elvfhby9xxmw

#TBT The #poster for the first #play I appeared in when I threw away my #finance #career and #reinvented myself. The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told by Paul Rudnick was a #queer take on The Greatest Story Ever Told, featuring Adam and Steve instead of Adam and Eve. I was Steve, running around at certain points in nothing but a leaf-covered #jockstrap. The play is insanely clever, time shifts, and was a joy to be part of. The coolest part of this experience is this: I had auditioned for the play while still in the final days of my finance career, wrapping it up and preparing to re-create myself. On day one not being in finance anymore I was having a coffee when y phone rang at 9am - I was offered the part of Steve. I didn’t even have five minutes, let alone a day of doing nothing. Off I went into life anew. I believe in #signs from Universe and certainly took this immediate #gig as Universe’s way of assuring me that in choosing to follow my #dreams, I would never go wrong. And never once have I looked back or regretted my choice. #ThoughtRevolution. (at Buddies In Bad Times Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDjzn2JBXT0/?igshid=k0e55ori37r

I know it’s not throwback or flashback day yet but my Uncle T just sent me these pics he found. I’ve always been able to rock a hat. https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6ncr0ANQoZWbrDkcxjbkgUKciyiiUWE6M-5I0/?igshid=h01j8v777rub

#FBF Hanging out with my pal, the superstar Molly Johnson celebrating the release of her exquisite “I’ve Been Meaning To Tell Ya.” Which I still think is her best album yet. We’re overdue Mol! #J https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwo0lsBUVB/?igshid=xv7uje63o9o4

This is Pard, because we were partners, once upon a time, back in my #finance days. We caught up tonight over #champagne, #rosé, and many #laughs. #Pivoting, #Covid, shit shows, turning 50, talking to the #dead - we covered it all and there was even broken glass. Left feeling #inspired and #understood - and a little bit tips. You know who the Real Deals are in your life; hold them close. I love you, Pard. #ThoughtRevolution (at Lawrence Park, Toronto) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCpcL-7BxD-/?igshid=vv7yv2ex4riq

The best things in life aren’t things, although things are very lovely...things. The best in life is one’s ability to be #happy with or without any things. #ThoughtRevolution (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCV2HCiBmJf/?igshid=17kl49l1rvnoy

#Cupcakes! Now that we have your attention, we spread the sweetness on thick this weekend on The Shaun Proulx Show when we find out what guest Langdon Logie learned about #joy, baking #free cupcakes for #strangers, a #random act of #kindness during #Covid. Then it’s #SisterAct time, when two of my favourites, Sarah and Charlotte Command - The Command Sisters - share their new single “I Like It’ (I love it) and agree to disagree in a most sisterly fashion about living and working together in #quarantine. And special guest Douglas Vemeeren, #producer and #director of the new film When Thoughts Become Things, shares how ... your #thoughts do become just that - this is a #LawOfAttraction segment you won’t want to miss! Grab a cupcake and tune in!   Show times (all times Eastern): Sat 9pm Sun 12am Sun 4pm Sun 8pm #ThoughtRevolution https://www.instagram.com/p/CCPBma1hU07/?igshid=galmcr0eurxl
