I’m still not feeling 100 percent, so I thought I’d do something a bit different today. I want each of you to look at this picture and tell me what comes to mind. It can be one word, a sentence, or even a paragraph.
For those of you who this picture evokes no particular thoughts, I’m going to give you a prompt. It obviously looks as though he is thinking something, pondering, you might say. What is he thinking about?
I obviously like this picture, but I want to know: What does it say to you? What feelings/emotions does it evoke? Do you even like the picture?
Feel free to answer one, all, or any number of the question. I’d like to hear your thoughts today.

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.

body{font-family: Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:9pt;background-color: #ffffff;color: black;}Freedom of travel. I’ve been to Florence and backpacked all over Europe one summer after college and between jobs. These days I do my traveling via Globe Trekker and other PBS-type shows. ‘ve never had that much time, or extra $$$ to travel since Florence. These days I’m lucky if I get 2 weeks a year; most years just 1 week; and that has been a “Stayvaction” the past 4 years due to economy, job loss and relocation.

He’s obviously asking: Should I shave my armpits? 🙂

Preoccupation, unselfconsciousness, maybe even pensiveness. Whatever he is thinking, it is important to him or has engaged him deeply.
