Your reply on my September 11th entry was beautiful and eloquent. Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds very similar to mine...even down to the quiet alcoholism. It helps me immensely to know that other people not only relate, but can look back on what I'm going through and tell me it will be worth it.
I read back a few journals of yours, and also really liked reading your writing from your very well expressed views on the endless frustration of not allowing gays to marry to the ability to fall in love for an hour on a plane.
Do you mind if we friend it is easier to stop by and read your journal?
PS The hokey pokey IS what it is all about.
