Moment of Zen: Fall Semester
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.

Joe, this very off topic but might be of interest given your life story. FX debuts a new show on 9/2 called English Teacher, which is about an openly gay high school teacher in Austin TX. Stars and written by Brian Jordan Alvarez, who played Jack’s boyfriend/husband on Will & Grace

The two times I lived in Austin, TX brought this sight to my eyes regularly….nothing like that in my retirement community!!!
