Whenever possible, offering or presenting more than what is expected or required does occasionally please and surprise the recipient. As this is the final week of the first month of a new year, 2026, now seems to be an appropriate time to put this theory into practice! Therefore, ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! is offering two different post entries (unrelated) here in one combined post entry. The more we share, the merrier we can all be!
Return To ReNude!
Over the recent winter holidays, while with my spouse, Aaron, and his family in Toronto, Canada, we deliberated and made the decision to resurrect one of the original monthly series initially published here: A Penny For My Thoughts. We had discontinued it after several years for no other reason than the fact that we were scarce on subjects to offer.
We are keeping the title and revising the format. It will now feature a quote with a brief description/explanation of the intent. We plan to remain simple as to avoid any mistake or misunderstanding.
The original posting was on the day before the other monthly series, Bottom’s-Up!, was published. We plan to continue with that same schedule.
The series will return here this upcoming Friday, 30 January 2026!
Naked hugs!

What Did We Miss?
The winter holiday visit with my spouse’s family in Toronto, Canada, was both busy and hectic. The time of the year (major holiday and holy day) and the mealtime gatherings made for a very social experience that left little “free-time” than normally available. Also, two of Aaron’s nephews (sons of different sisters) had two different puppies…and they needed their time with “Uncle Roger!”
Of course, I needed “my time” with my energetic and furry canine “nephews!”
Upon return, it seemed like only one afternoon of unplanned freedom before back to work at university and the start of Spring semester, 2026! A new schedule, new students and a new routine kept me in long office hours for all of two weeks. Two new colleagues at the job ensured an even longer than usual work day!
Since returning to the classroom, my mother had a medical emergency that forced to deal with the reality of a fateful return to Greece. Fortunately, it was a minor issue that my oldest brother over-reacted!
I’ve seriously neglected the blogs and sites that I follow! I humbly apologize and plan to use my time this weekend to return to my favourites and hopefully become current.
Naked hugs!
