Sunday we went to the host hotel for the ABW reception. Alex and Dakota were present. Johnny Boy had to leave early so he could not be there.The reception was fun and it was nice to hang out with the ABW family as well as others. It was great to see everyone again. After that we went r to the SF Eagle! It was crowded and fun. After this some of us went to dinner and then went back to the hotel to pack as we all were leaving the next day.

Hi All
Sorry it has been a while since I updated my blogs. First let's start where I left off. I was invited by Mr. Boston Leather 2010 to do a presentation at Ramrod on Saturday March 13, 2010.
I presented on communication between deaf and hearing in leather community and during leather play. It was great to see everyone in Boston.
During my presentation, I invited people from the audience to come up on stage and role play with me. It was fun fun fun. I hope it was educational and fun at the same time. Thanks to the Mr. Boston Leather family for inviting me.

Boston and LA next

I will be heading to Boston on Saturday March 13 to do a presentation on communication between deaf and hearing in leather community and during leather play. This is part of a day of education put on by Mr. Boston Leather. I sure hope to make it both educational and fun.

Ct Cruisers at Tommy's March 6th and visiting friend

On Friday my best friend Chris and I drove to Connecticut. One reason we went down was because a deaf friend of ours JD from Conn was in an induced coma due to having an infection in his heart. lungs and kidneys. It all started with sore foot. He has Diabetes. I encourage people that if you start to feel pain or swelling in your legs or feet to go to the doctor and get checked out. We visited JD on Saturday afternoon. People have told us that because he was in a coma that he would not know that we were there.
We were surprised that JD opened his eyes and seemed to know we were there. He could not talk but the nurse asked me to ask him if he was comfortable. So I did and asked him to either blink his eye or nod his head. He shook his head to say no that he was not comfortable. So the nurse gave him something to help him sleep. It seems like the infection is gone and they are hoping he may wake up today or tomorrow. It seems things are improving for JD.
On Saturday night we decided to attend Ct Cruisers event. Thanks Robert Vitale for inviting me. It was great to see everyone and it was first time I saw fire play. I had a great time and hope to attend again. It was also great to meet LeatherDaddy Tim.
Sorry I was not able to take any pictures of the event. Hugz Terry

Me and Boy Taz, Boy Alex and Boy B ..




On Thursday February 11, I drove from Maine to pick up Justin, Mr. Boston Leather 2010. We then drove to Connecticut to spend a few hours with my aunt and to wait for rush hour to pass. We left Conn around midnight and drove to Baltimore. I did not see any snow until we got to NYC then of course once we got to Baltimore there was more snow than here in Maine. I really do think Mother Nature is confused this year as we have not had much snow here in Maine this winter.
After Dropping Justin off at the hotel in Baltimore I continued to drive to Washington DC to stay with Sir Y. Of course once I got there I chatted for a bit then took a nap. Later that evening International Deaf leather boy , Boy Taz joined us.
We went out to eat in Baltimore at a great restaurant. I can't remember the exact name of it but it was something Tavern. IT was great food and service. After this we went to the meet and greet at the Baltimore Eagle. Mr. Boston Leather, Myself. Karen,(Mr. Deaf Baltimore leather2009, Larry and John were judges. It was fun to meet and greet people. It was also great to see Sir Any Liu and others as well.
On Saturday we all went to Grand Central( I hope this is the Right name) Where the contest was being held. It was great to see Brandon Riley and Sir Andy Liu again. Sir Andy Liu gave a great presentation. Thanks Sir Andy Iiu.
It was also great to see Boy Alex and Boy B and spend some time with them. It was great to have boy Alex work on my boots and also my sash.. Thanks Boy Alex.
Boy taz had forgot his sash so I called him to the stage and stated "You are in trouble" and the audience had fun punishing or should I say disciplining him. He got whipped and spanked by me. It was fun. On Sunday afternoon I decided to drive home as they were saying there would be a big storm. However, I think the storm never came. It was a long drive but always great to see everyone.
