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.

LOL, my dad worked for the telephone company, and I can remember using a rotary dial phone. Nowadays, telephone lines won’t even allow you to use a rotary dial, and you certainly couldn’t call one of these automated systems (“Please, press 1 for English”) with one of these. I gave up having a landline when I moved to Vermont, although I know plenty of people who still have one.
