The Recovery Begins

By Joe

I really don’t have much to say today, but I’ll give an update on the flooding that occurred in Vermont the night before last. Much of Vermont did not suffer flooding to the extent they did last year. My town which had only minor flooding last year was hit pretty hard this time. At least three bridges collapsed and one apartment building (not in my apartment complex) partially collapsed when the road running alongside the building washed out redirecting a creek under half the building. The main road that I take to work is still closed this morning, and I hope it will reopen over the weekend.

I nearly forgot! 

Today is the 14th anniversary of this blog.

 I can’t believe I’ve written or posted something to The Closet Professor nearly every day for fourteen years. Thank you for being along with me through this journey. It’s grown into a lot more than I ever expected fourteen years ago, and I have met some wonderful friends through this blog. I feel like we’ve built a community here. 

  Thank you for being a friend!

I plan to spend the weekend inside reading. I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!

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
