If Pride seems passe
Maybe a little reminder of where we started from would help.
Spent the weekend bouncing around Austin doing Austin Bear things- a 'dive in' movie showing/pool party, a nice bear brunch, and a bit of a busted bear beer bust- well, only about 20 folks or so, but it's the thought that counts, je? The local bear club has at last count 145 members, but there are odd fissures here n there (an older man at the bust today somewhat reproachfully told me that the current club 'gives no respect' to the local clubs that existed beforehand. Mind, I couldn't find out how such respect should be bestowed, either, but sometimes, really it is just the thought that counts). My soical skills still need some work, but ah, it's good start.
the trip to Minneapolis last week was also quite fine. I got a nice weekend spent with ranger1 and Tim, plus four days of road travling time to just sit and ruminate on things in. Came back and and basiclly chewed my way through a few months worth of therapy, going click, click, click, snapping the pieces in my head together that I've been trying to. solitary roadtrips are usually good for my head. I'll be scaling the doctor visits back, tho I will be going to men's social group for while- mixed gay/straight- should be fun.
and we got a new shower head. Whee
Life is nice, truly.
Meantime: Armageddon! Zombies! Vampires!
Enjoy...
