Labor Day

By Joe

While Labor Day is officially a day to celebrate American workers, it is also the unofficial end of summer. A lot of people will be at the beach or the lake having barbecues and all kinds of fun. I don’t plan to do any of that. My plan is to relax, bundle up (our high today will only be 63), and read. I’m currently reading The First and Last Adventure of Kit Sawyer by S.E. Harmon. It’s sort of an Indiana Jones, but not Indiana Jones, meets gay romance. In fact, the main character, Kit Sawyer, says, “I could be Indiana Jones if he was fine-boned and lean and a whole lot less rugged. And if he was dark-haired and gray-eyed with a dose of epilepsy. So…no? Maybe I could be Ohio Jones, his slightly less fantastic cousin.” Like Indiana Jones, it also centers around an artifact with some special powers attached to it. So far, it’s been a fun read, and that is my plan for today.

If you’re doing something fun today, have a great time and be safe!

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
