Beautiful day at the beach with the wife, kids and some friends. Got there early and enjoyed the water, sand, sun, grill, beer, frisbee, volleyball, etc. all day. Can't get any better. An observation, recently a lot more women tanning topless (not walking around though) at the beaches here in Chicago. After a bit my wife and other women in our group finally felt comfortable enough to lay out topless. Glad to see people were mature enough not to gwak.Here's a pic of our beach this morning, just a block from the house.

OK Bitchez, I'm back and love ya all BUT I'm none to happy either. Months later I find the same dude is moaning about how he can't get published, the same chicks are bitchin' about not going pink, the same old guys ARE still trying to play on everyones sympathy. GEEZ.

WELL, THE MORE THINGS CHANGE... THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME.

BTW, Christina Hendricks is pure hotness...

Still here folks... just not all that often.

QUICK NOTE -- My wife and I were blessed with their two little angels back in mid June. Livy (2:27pm, 6lbs. 4oz., 20in.), and Lia (2:28pm, 4lbs. 10oz., 18in.). Hope you all understand why we've been busy.

Man, it is a bitch to find affordable childcare. Our twin newborns our on their way and we've been prepping all we can but the one most difficult aspect, finding someone to watch the girls when we go back to work, has been near impossible to resolve. Well, we have found people, but no where near affordale. I'm sure the answer is right in front of us.

Hi Everyone. Sorry I’ve been out of contact but I have a good reason… make that two good reasons. My wife and I are expecting twins. They’re both girls and we are looking forward to their arrival this summer. Getting ready for them has been happy but time consuming. Since the holidays I’ve signed in for brief instances to see what’s new in SG land… noticed the site has gotten a slight facelift again. Anyway, glad to see you all have survived the winter. I’ll try to catch up more later, right now I’ve got to head over to Lowes. I friend of mine is helping me throw together the nursery and we need paint.

CHEERS

HERE'S WISHING ALL OF YOU OUT THERE THE HAPPIEST OF HOLIDAYS.

Bettie Page died yesterday. To me she was the only one true pin-up. I'm sad that she has passed, her beauty and class has never, will never be equaled. I think her influence is more far reaching then most imagine, I don't believe there would even be sites like SG without her. I remember coming across pictures of her when I was a tween and being totally drawn. She even made an impact on how my wife and I... I walked in to a restaurant one night and spotted this beautiful girl sporting a "Bettie Page" look (the haIr, the dress, the shoes), I made a bee-line to her table, introduced myself and the rest was history. Bettie may be gone but she'll never be forgotten.

Bettie Page, April 22, 1923 - December 11, 2008
