Some Preliminary Thoughts...

before proceeding.

First of all, on lost/forgotten logins mentioned in the previous post. Now, this makes me feel old. After 3 months unable to remember my login/password for this site, I tried out a combination, and it worked. What's odd about that? It's the same friggin' login/password I use for 90% of my other locations. Just never tried it here. I dunno. Makes me feel so senile. old.

Secondly, I don't know who I'm trying to fool by that previous post. I guess I want to feel like I could, if I wanted, fit into the world of the young gay men from Minneapolis I've been reading.

I can't. I'm not old, but I'm certainly older than they; they live a life, that is different than the one I chose for myself. And the one I'm really happy with. They live in a world of "things to do" and "excitement". I chose to live a nice, quiet life, in a nice, quiet relationship, in a nice, quiet house that I own, in a nice, quiet neighborhood, in a nice, quiet town, in a nice, quiet state, deep in the heartland of the USA.

And there's nothing wrong with that. Just don't fault me from watching the younger folk living, what I imagine to be, a more exciting life in a more interesting city... even though it's like watching life through a television screen... and yearning in some secret place, that I could live that life.
