Moment of Zen: Shopping

Some people love to shop. Some people hate to shop.

I mostly enjoy it—as long as the store isn’t too crowded.

And even if shopping isn’t your thing, there’s always the quiet pleasure of people-watching.


Moment of Zen: Sleep


Moment of Zen: Men in the Kitchen


Moment of Zen: Coffee


Moment of Zen: Fireside

It’s been bitterly cold here lately. Last night, my apartment felt especially unforgiving—one of those nights when no number of layers quite does the trick. I found myself wishing I were curled up in front of a fireplace, mug of hot chocolate in hand, wrapped in a man’s arms. But at this moment, honestly, just the fire would be enough.


Moment of Zen: Home

Home at last. A delayed flight from Washington, DC had me walking in just before 3 a.m., but now I’m back where I belong—with Isabella, her morning wet food served, and the quiet comfort of home. A gentle Moment of Zen before I crawl back into bed. 😴🐾


Moment of Zen: Christmas Morning

Coffee optional. Clothes apparently not required. This is exactly what I want Christmas morning to look like—and I can’t wait to unwtap these presents. 

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. 🎄

Mustaches aren’t usually my thing—but every rule deserves at least one very good exception. Some guys make it undeniably hot. I’m not sure it’s the mustache that’s winning me over—but I’m not complaining.

The following aren’t Christmas pics, per se. They just say Christmas in all the right ways. No ornaments, no lights needed—just something that feels unmistakably seasonal.

There’s nothing remotely Christmas about this—no red, no green, not a single decoration. But Santa… please put him under my tree anyway. I promise I’ll enjoy unwrapping him Christmas morning.


Moment of Zen: Gray Sweatpants Season

It’s that time of year when the weather cools, comfort becomes essential, and gray sweatpants give us more than one reason to appreciate the view. As Mother Nature turns the skies gray, gray sweatpants quietly put nature’s handiwork on display.


Moment of Zen: White Briefs

There’s something timeless and undeniably sexy about a man in just a pair of white briefs.


Moment of Zen: Lazy Days

Some days call for ambition; others call for claiming my spot on the couch and staying there.
