I’m a big observer. And I guess I saw yesterday the loveliest of all the gay couples. Not because both of them are good-looking, which I have to say they are, but because there is simply a loving connection between them. The way they look at each other. The way they put on their most interesting face while listening. The way their eyes stop and stare. The way they smile. The way he opens his...

Sometimes I can’t blame myself, really, for being too blatantly antagonistic, nay, pessimistic in committing myself in a relationship.

One more week and we’re back on regular programming. Tendonitis improved. I can reach my back now without the unnecessary ache. I’d be realistic with my goal. Hope to close February at 118 lbs. Gotta jack up the scales.
