My Gays
Way before it was in fashion, I fell in love with gay men. It started out with my high school boyfriend. He wasn’t gay when we were dating. Well, that’s not entirely accurate, because I guess he was, but he … Continue reading

Take It From Me

A Little Story About Jack and Diane
I will admit that one of my guilty pleasures is eavesdropping in restaurants. When Dan and I go out to dinner, I have to shush him sometimes to listen in on a neighboring table. It’s not the nicest thing in … Continue reading
