We’ve made it to the middle of the week, and I’ve been sitting here staring at my screen, trying to figure out what I want to write about this morning. Unfortunately, inspiration seems to have decided to sleep in today. I can’t say I blame it. I wish I could have done the same.
So, rather than ramble on about absolutely nothing, I’ll simply wish y’all a wonderful Wednesday. Have a great day!
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, Keep up the good work. I don’t expect you to come up outstanding insights and information every day.
In an old post you mentioned having another, NSFW, blog. Is that still up and accessible. There’s plenty of porn out there, but I’d love to see what you have to offer. Can I still get to that blog?
I’ve been going back to your very early posts for the poetry – and the pictures that turn me on. The history, background, and information is exceptional. I can’t read it all.
Ben, that blog is no longer around. I think I deleted it about 10 or 15 years ago. I’m glad you are liking the early posts. I think (I hope) my writing has improved greatly. This blog has certainly evolved over the last 16 years, and with over 8000 posts, it’s a lot to read.
Thank you for commenting. I always want to know what you have to say. However, I have a few rules: 1. Always be kind and considerate to others. 2. Do not degrade other people's way of thinking. 3.

Hang in there until the weekend.
