My post this morning was an update about the flooding, but I had planned a different kind of post for this morning. Today marks 13 years since I started this blog. Thank you to all who have read this blog over the years. I have made some wonderful friends who have made significant impacts to on my life, and I am grateful for all of you.
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.
