About Me

I am an easy going, fat fighting, writer, waiter, lover, retired, pleasure oriented, reader, theatre and movie goer and the list goes on. In 1967 I lost 100+ pounds and in 1972 went into Transactional Analysis therapy.  I am an optimist, Mr. Pollyanna and one of the good guys though I can be stubborn and/or outspoken--I speak my mind and say what I feel--and I can do that without cursing or calling someone names or disrespecting them--I see that as an asset others don't--I feel as if I am the luckiest, happiest and richest man in the world because of my friends and the life I have lived and live now.

I will not block anyone from reading my blogs but I will delete slurs against Gay people just as I will delete people's comments (and people from commenting on my blogs) bashing gays and/or gay people. I will respect different opinions as long as they are presented civily without the name calling and the feeling 'my way is the only way'. I give respect to heterosexuality though not to some heterosexuals.  :O)

By the way--I AM GAY!  I am proud of the over 60 years I have been a gay activist and the past 25+ years of working with teenagers with AIDS.
