Hello Blog. It’s been a while. Like over half of the Obama administration while. Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up. B and I were not able to make the long distance work, and we ultimately – and ultimately amicably – broke up. After some things that did not work […] All Coated In Ice In February of 2003, a crippling ice storm hit the Dallas/Fort Worth area. To be fair, any winter storm in Dallas is crippling. Dallas residents assume that because they have 4 wheel drive they can drive at full speed on ice, which leads to many SUV’s sliding through intersections. […] This is the tale of two men, Jon and Joe, and the dangers of trading up. I met Jon chatting online one night on gay.com.
