A bit of wisdom about travel

 This won't be a book review, but something from the book I've just finished, William Boyd's The Predicament, struck me as an excellent view of travel:

"[H]e registered the familiar travel frisson. Almost everything he was about to experience would be new and different – and, in a way, that was the essential requirement of travel, he considered. It made the world fresh and stirring once again, curiosity stimulated, eyes wide open."

Travel really does open your eyes and bring new, exciting views of the world. Whether it's somewhere new or revisiting a favorite place, travel is one of the best things you can do for your mind and your enjoyment of life.

Heated Rivalry

Have you watched Heated Rivalry yet? In case you somehow missed hearing about it, it's about closeted gay professional hockey players. The guys are hot, and the sex scenes are hot. But as one meme succinctly put it, "these fuckers lured us in with porn and then hit us over the head with a frying pan of emotional devastation."

The love between these guys is so sweet and so deep, you'll fall in love with them and be cheering for them.

This started as a low-budget production on a Canadian streaming service called Crave. It was such an overnight hit that HBO picked it up. Wherever you can watch it, watch it. It's a wonderful show!

And if you're a reader like me, grab all of Rachel Reid's books. This series starts with the book Game Changer, which actually isn't about the main characters of the TV series, although the characters from that book get an episode of their own. I enjoyed the whole series of books, and I recommend them as well!
