Off to Montreal

I leave today going to Montreal for a conference. I’ll be there until Sunday. This is usually a good conference. Everyone is congenial. I’ve been to conferences before where people were very critical of papers presented, but this conference isn’t like that. I decided to stay in the gay village and not at one of the conference hotels. I have one hotel that I particularly like and it’s only two subway stops from the conference which is being held at Concordia University. So the next several days will be spent listening to papers being presented and then most of the evenings, I should have free.

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
