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, I had a great laugh today. I don’t know if you remember that I said I had a dream where the parking lot at my grocery was filled with green cars? It was a few days ago.
I’ve just come back from Kroger and there were three vibrantly painted green cars=two BMWs and a Mercedes…. That Kroger encompasses a large industrial/office/warehouse space that includes Mario Andrettis’ race car operation. So despite the area being solidly middle class, and extremely diverse racially, it isn’t that rare to spot a unique car.
For many years, I used to have dreams that were completely Deja vu in which I clearly saw into the future. Not in some horoscope way but more as prophetic. I wonder is I’m seeing a rebirth of that? Time will tell!
I remember. It’s strange when we dream something and then it kind of happens. It’s like when you talk to somebody about an actor or something and unexpectedly that actor pops onto your screen.
Thanks Joe! I don’t know the name of the shade of green but it was not unusual in the 50’s and 60’s so it really pops out!

If I was coming home to that, most of my clothes would be off once the car reached the driveway!

I do!! I do!! My clothes are off most of the day whenever possible.
This is another wonderful photo, Joe. I wish I could help his hand out front.

Wow, what a carpet!!! Probably Persian or Afghan (if it’s a real one). The youngster is pretty good too.
Get your stuff everyone. Don’t be shy.
