I’m so happy to be back home. The hospital released me this afternoon. I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful group of people to take care of me when I was sick. I’m taking the rest of the week off work to rest and completely recover. I have a workshop in Burlington to attend on Friday, but I am looking forward to it and will get an early dinner up there afterwards.
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, it’s great that you’re back home with Isabella. I’m glad you were treated well while there but nothing beats our own place. Relax. Get back completely ASAP.
