Thank you for your patience the last day or so. Blogger has been undergoing maintenance for about the last 24 hours. During that time, all of my posts since Wednesday night were deleted during this maintenance. Also, the comments were deleted as well. I had been in the process of answering comments when Blogger shut down. Hopefully, the comments will be recovered, but I am not holding out a lot of hope. I have re-uploaded the posts that were saved to my computer. Blogger seems to be up and running again now, though it still has a few problems.
About Joe
I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.
My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces.

Joe: No need to apologize, it's not your fault and there's little you can do about it. But I do appreciate getting a look at buddha boy. 🙂

FOC: Glad you liked Buddha boy, he just looked like the right image to use for this post. As for Blogger, life goes on…
