What Is This?
I started this blog 25 years ago. I was old: 50; but I had an interesting perspective on gay life. You see, I didn’t come out until I was 40, and that was at the height of the AIDs crisis, so I didn’t get to experience the wild permissiveness most gay men experience when they are much younger.
Me, in no particular order:
I’m doing this mostly for me. I’m starting to be forgetful and that’s on top of having a memory with great holes. I want to re-read all of this, edit it and post as a way of remembering. If you find yourself digging in here, I salute you! And wish you all the goodness of a warm peach cobbler on a chilly winters night.
I was not very conscientious with this blog, having gone sometimes going months, even years between posts. And a lot of what I wrote is crap; you won’t be seeing that. But I’m going to go back and pull out the most interesting posts from the past and repost them here.
