November 1, 2025 Dogs, yes! Gays, no! A very dear friend of mine, a librarian, has dedicated much of her limited free time and endless care to raising guide dogs for veterans, the blind, as well as others needing loving support and companionship in their daily lives.

Killing Birds September 12, 2022 In Florida, where I live, there are many insects and reptiles. We find some of these “intruders” in our house a few times a week.

My Friend August 7, 2022 In high school, I had only one good, best friend. The reason for this was probably the way I saw myself and the fact that I frequently tried to hide, not wanting to call attention to myself. When you were a fat, gay teenage boy, in the late 1970s living […]
