The Unofficial End of Summer

Though summer isn’t quite over, and if the heat wave Alabama is currently having is any indication, we have quite a ways to go. But for many people, Labor Day marks the end of the summer season. Schools used to wait until after Labor Day to start back, but I don’t know any schools that do anymore. For educators and students, our summer has been over for nearly a month, if not more. I had a busy but wonderful summer and I hope all of you did as well. Here’s to looking forward to the cooler temperatures this fall. I hope you’ve all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend, maybe some of you even went to Southern Decadence in New Orleans. One day I’m going to make it down there for that.

I’d originally planned a longer post for today but I’m having Internet issues here on the lake, so this will have to do.

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
