London? Easy connections? LHR is a mess, and if you connect in Gatwick or other London airport you'll need at ETA unless you're an Irish/UK/Manx citizen.

Well, not needing any hard evidence, the court of public opinion has spoken, and California has changed Cesar Chavez Day to Farmworkers' Day. Why wait for any evidence? Accusation = guilt. https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/03/cesar-chavez-day-renamed/

Yes, that and the fact that he's not as hard-up for cash as he claims. I'm not hard-up for cash, but I was happy to meet the LA Opera's Major Gifts Officer when he offered to talk to me and my husband about the LAO over coffee--and all we got was a cup of coffee. I was surprised to learn that corporate donations make up only 10% of its budget, and that they rely more heavily on private donors such as myself. We did tell him, though, that we were disappointed that they are redoing both The Marriage of Figaro and Turandot, after having done them just a few years earlier. Apparently I was not alone in expressing this concern. We did tell him we would be renewing our subscriptions and our donations again this year, but would not do so if they kept on doing repeats. Well, I must admit he's quite handsome--though we're both quite happily married (in his case, to a woman, of all people) and neither hitting on each other. https://www.linkedin.com/in/timstephensonpiano/

May I ask for the source of this information?

What percentage of these MAGA sycophants do you suppose have children/grandchildren in the armed forces? He calls our brave warriors "losers" and "suckers." " According to a 2020 Atlantic report, Trump reportedly made these comments when cancelling a 2018 visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France, calling it "filled with losers," and allegedly referred to 1,800 Marines who died at Belleau Wood as "suckers"."... https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/john-kelly-confirms-trump-privately-disparaged-us-service-members-vete-rcna118543 https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/ "When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, near Paris, in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true. Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed...".

In my email, I specifically told him that I never have and never will cheat on my husband, and sent him two photos of my hubbie and myself, including one of our wedding pictures, and made it quite clear that I had no intention of hitting on him. I gave him my full name and address. He still hasn't responded, leading me to strongly suspect his pleas are a scam (already a bit difficult to believe without this confirming evidence). Many apparently are happy to blindly send him money, so easy pickings for him.

That being said, I'd vote for Puerto Vallarta (in Jalisco, the same state for which Guadalajara is the capital) being the most gay. It's certainly much more concentrated. The number of gay bars and restaurants may even be greater in PV than in MC. One would certainly say that PV is Mexico's "gay mecca." There are lots of luxury bus companies running the Guadalaja to PV circuit, and the road between the two cities (on the luxury lines) is quite good.

It's been over 24 hours since I offered both (1) the $100 coffee meeting, and (2) magician/entertainer gig for June pool party. No response so far, which makes me very suspicious that his story in asking for donations is a scam... 😉

Well, I sent him an e-mail. We'll find out if his story is probably true or not... 😉

My worst queueing experience was going through immigration for non-EU/EEA citizens at Lisbon Airport. Good thing I arrived at the airport 2.5 hours before departure. The line was over 1 km long and took almost 2 hours. Barely had time to reach my gate (no special line for business class, either).
