The Bottom Line
An article in Palm Springs's twice-montly publication, The Bottom Line discussed "Balancing Boyfriends" in an article of their December 24/04 - January 6/05 issue, "Best Gay Blogs." It said:

Tyler Curtain at www.bentkid.com is a professor of English, cultural studies and theory whose perspectives on American gay life are always dead on and deep. When you're done getting educated on GLBT news and reading for depth, you'll want to find a blogger whose sole purpose is to entertain. The author of www.barnesplace.com/bpboy delivers regular tales of the trials and tribulations of balancing multiple boyfiends and continually puts himself in uncomfortable situations like eating at Hooters or shopping for Playgirls to keep his own adrenaline running. For purely guilty pleasure we have people like www.akafrankgreen.com who brings being a bitchy, fashion obsessed queen to a whole new level with his insults to Paris Hilton, his society dirt straight from the bowels of Ptown and utterly ridiculous self portraits filled with pink wigs, roller skates and pom poms. Along with all the dirty fun, he hosts a Mirror Project full of photos of people in front of their mirrors complete with very personal musings.

Now if that is not complimentary enough to be listed in an article titled "Best Gay Blogs", I'm listed with three people (Cyber Kenny is also listed in the article, along with Tyler and Frank Green.) that not only do I consider some of the best bloggers out there, but are celebrated by many others as some of the best. I'm flattered and honored to be among those listed.

Nods to Dean for snagging the magazine while vacationing in Palm Springs.

Expanding the Bubble of Freedom
Our dogs have the personalities of perpetual toddlers who are eternally experimenting with defying authority, asserting their independence, and putting everything not tied down into their mouths. As a result, our dogs have learned to lead lives inside protective bubbles that Tony creates. While most dogs frolic freely from time-to-time, our dogs are coddled and shielded, protected from the atrocities of life—the wet grass that brushes up against their underbellies on a rainy day, a draft that might blow through the house, or even worse, the emotional and mental trauma stemming from the confusion generated by the smells of other animals on our clothing when we come home. “It’s okay,” Tony will explain to them. “I know you’re confused.”

So it’s no surprise we’re getting a lot of the same question from friends all across the country: “How are the animals adjusting to the big cross-country move?” Read on...
