I had to work last Saturday and I have to work next Saturday, so I am taking a four-day weekend to make up for it. It will be nice to kick back and relax. Hopefully, I can catch up on some shows I have DVRed, and tomorrow, will be a day of watching college football. I may take a little drive down to Middlebury, Vermont tomorrow and listen to one of the games on the radio, but it’s all according to what the weather is like tomorrow. We’ll see how the weekend turns out.
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.
