Meet PJ and Thomas

Ya know, when I came out in the closing days of disco, there were lots of sexy guys in the clubs, but no long-term couples to be seen, no role models for a stable, grown-up life.  But nowadays, YouTube keeps showing me more and more of them.  What a difference half a century makes.  

Here's a couple from Chattanooga that I just came across.  They have three kids, a house in town, a farm in the country, and a beach house on the Gulf. I don't know where they hide their ginormous Money Bin, but they seem to have a wonderful family life. Good for them.

Todd and Rob Escape to Wyoming

The mountain boys finally get out of the garden shed and into the wide-open spaces of the West.  (But where's Wally?)

Geography note:  The Grand Tetons were so named by the first explorers, Frenchmen, because they reminded them of their girlfriends.  I'm not making this up.

Sunday Drive: Choral High Mass from St. Mark's Episcopal, Philadelphia

Your Head Trucker hasn't been to church in a very long while - for good reasons -  and is not a high churchman; but sometimes a service of bells and smells can be refreshing to the soul.  At least I can make a spiritual communion online, and listen to a good sermon.  

BTW - Psalm 37 is particularly apropos in today's world.

Video description:

Choral High Mass on the Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost

The music for the Mass is:

    Missa Octavi Toni – Orlande de Lassus (1532 - 1594)

    O Lord, Increase Our Faith – Henry Loosemore (? -1670)

    Love Bade Me Welcome – Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)

The service leaflet (PDF) for today's service is found here.
