Hump Day

By Joe

The week is half over and it’s now November. I was just watching the weather on the local news, and they were discussing what a warm October we’ve had. In Vermont, October was nearly 5 degrees warmer for the average than normal. We also received more rain than normal. Yesterday, we got our first frost, the second latest frost in history. Currently, it’s 24 degrees with a high today of only 38. To quote Game of Thrones, “Winter is coming!”

With the beginning of November, we are less than two months away from Christmas, and that means, it’s less than two months away from me possibly having to go back to Alabama. I’m not looking forward to it. It was not a pleasant experience last year, and if I do go, which I probably will, I won’t be staying a whole week.

I do have something more exciting coming up next week. Since I moved to Vermont eight years ago, I have been to every New England state except one: Maine. Next week, I’ll be attending a conference in Portland, Maine. I’ll have some time to do some sightseeing, so if anyone has any suggestions for things to see in Portland, let me know. The conference itself will probably not be fun or exciting, but hopefully, being in Portland can be while I have the time to explore.

So, this has been a super random post, but I’m feeling a little random today. Have a wonderful “hump day.” Maybe some of us will do some humping today. 😈

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

    A hump today would be good but I am in the middle of a streaming cold. It’s our wet damp climate. Oh to live in the South of France.

      It’s just cold here, though it will get colder soon. I nice warm body curled up with me in bed would be nice. Isabella is warm, but she doesn’t cuddle. I’d much prefer a man who would cuddle.
