Roadtrip!

If all goes well, I will begin a seven hour road trip about 10 am this morning. I’m going to visit a dear friend of mine from graduate school. She and her husband live in Thibodaux, Louisiana, and I do love to visit. I just wish it wasn’t so far away. I will be staying about five days, and maybe I will get to go to New Orleans some while I’m down there. The last time I was down was just before the aborted cruise and my aunt’s death back in January.

Truthfully, I could probably make it in less than seven hours, but if I drive a long time, my legs have been known to cramp and I have to get out of the car and walk around some. Also, I will stop on the way down at Lenny’s Sub Shop in Mobile. It’s my favorite sandwich shop, but I will have to decide: do I want the grilled chicken philly or the regular philly cheesesteak? Decisions, decisions….

I will continue to post while I’m gone, so if anything really interesting happens, I’ll let you know.

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. View all posts by Joe
