Footnotes:

* Full disclosure, a lot of people still call me Nekkid Jim, because my name is Jim and I'm usually nekkid. "Nekkid" is the Texas pronunciation of naked, but it also implies that in addition to being nude you are also having a good time!

**I've been married to the same sweet wonderful non-burner for 41 years, and I'd like to stay that way. If we really hit it off, you can be one of my glam-kids.

*** I'll try to bring a massage table, but no promises!

**** We needed to be in two places at once. We call it "the two state solution."
