My little ‘Speedo Fetish Empire’ has one staff member, his name is Kip and he runs all the super technical stuff that I’m not smart enough to figure out.  Kip lives in a mountain town in Colorado.

We started working together years ago and for a while we hadn’t met in person. He was recommended to me through a mutual friend. I knew that Kip was/is gay but that didn’t really matter for the job since I handle most of the content and he looks after the technical stuff.

After about two years of talking to each other pretty much every day, we finally met in person. I went over to Colorado to ‘work’ as well as go snowboarding.  That trip cemented our friendship… OK, OK, we were both single, horny and hanging out in his hottub in speedos meant that we fucked each others brains out for the two weeks that I was there. I couldn’t think of a better way to create what will probably be a life long friendship.

Since then Kip has been to Australia and wants to move here, and every year since I’ve gone back to Colorado snowboarding.

Last years trip was just before the Covid stuff really started and it was a bit of a different trip as Kip had a proper boyfriend so we didn’t get to fool around at all. They broke up not long after and Kip said he would have a trip to Australia to get over the break up blues. With all the travel restrictions that hasn’t happened, but I was still looking forward to a snowboarding trip in early 2021.

But it doesn’t look like that is going to happen either.

I just found out that as an Aussie, I cannot leave Australia without permission.  What the fuck?!?!?!

If you are an Australian citizen or a permanent resident you cannot leave Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions.  (https://covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/leaving-australia)

I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about this? Does this sound like the USSR to anyone? I think this is a rule in North Korea? That is really not cool at all.

Looks like no hottub fun in Colorado for Dave this year.
