Thank you for sharing that. It brought tears to my eyes. As she said that it is crazy that we are even debating (not all of us) that this was a hate crime and that we don't know how and where it starts.

Classic, a classic!

I think it is Johnny V.

I am on your wavelength. It was -23 degrees here yesterday. We got no mail because of the cold (which is perfectly understandable). All I remember is palm trees, mountains, swimming pools, and deviled eggs. And I smile.

I guess you missed the day at school when empathy and sympathy were taught. Certainly society does not "owe" anybody anything. However much of the time it chooses to provide for its citizens even though the bad end is the result of the citizen's life choices. I recall when many in America did not want to provide for AIDS patients because while AIDS was a disease it was the result of the patient's actions. Other people chose to exercise empathy in those circumstances. It is your choice to make.

I guess like most things I have never found my "life" a black/white exploit. There are many aspects where I have been "lucky" (except for much of it I had to work hard to get to that "luck"). At the same time, parts of my life have not been so lucky. And those aspects actually I had much less control over than the luck that seemed to come along. So I don't look at things as one or the other.

Edu got over his Daddy thing pretty quickly. Manu Maltes is (was) his boyfriend. http://www.smutjunkies.com/updates/wp-content/uploads/models/100/100233.jpg

Downtown Chicago is definitely not MAGA country. Any way, a few of the things that Smollett has said. "I get tired of the idea of someone telling me what my truth is," Smollett said in the interview. "I've said from the beginning of my journey: I do not hide who I am. I love who I love. No one is going to tell me that somehow that is going to be my disability." "I am told so many times that I should not walk truly in my blackness," Smollett continued. "That I should not walk truly in my sexuality, I should not walk truly in who I am. I say thanks but no thanks, f**k you and goodbye. I honestly think that me being myself has actually helped my career move forward."

I wonder if it feels like a hole being scrubbed.

Really nice voice. Thanks for that.

The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai. A must read for those who lived then and for those who did not.

In the end it makes no difference, but it seems odd that two such gorgeous men would live with each other on and off for years (between wives no less) and not be involved in something more than a friendship.

Oh man, lucky you. It is going to be in the minuses in Chicago next week so please enjoy yourself when you arrive. Of course, we will all see you in PS in April. So start boiling those eggs when you need to.

I thought he was. At the time I saw him he was about this size. https://www.redtube.com/598290
