I’m flying down to Alabama today. I have limited internet access at my parents house, and my cellphone barely works, if it works at all. They live too far from civilization for my taste. However, that’s where I’ll be until next Thursday (12/29). I have scheduled “Pics of the Day” through Christmas, but as for daily posts, they may be a bit sporadic, if I can post at all. I will try to post some while I’m gone, but if I don’t, know that I’m okay. I may have to get on here just to rant bit or tell something funny that happened. Right now, I’m looking forward to one thing: eating at my favorite Mexican restaurant tonight.
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.

Hi Professor,
I live in Alabama, was wondering what part your from , to be honest I’ve forgotten where you said you were from. Mobile area is home for me .
May your visit “home” be peaceful and you avoid any of the reasons for not really wanting to be there. Enjoy that Mexican restaurant tonight. MERRY CHRISTMAS Joe! 🎅
I hope you have a great Holiday despite the family. I understand completely, as I dread family gatherings myself. Stay safe with the storm coming, Look forward to the new year and more posts.
