Just another intro…

So, yeah. Another “newbie” intro/welcome post.

I moved to my new place here in Abq, NM just over 10 years ago now, from the “left coast” (beautiful Victoria, BC) of Canada – I’d been reading, watching, following these guys even before moving south, so, long time listener to say the least. 

I married into a family is mostly very “left” but I really suspect that is the old “by default” thing – it’s not very cool to be conservative, or so they believe. 

With a gay step-daughter firmly in the expected lbqt camp, heads were butted frequently, though I always saw little signs that aside from those things she was very much in the conservative camp deny it as she may (and did) – perhaps that was a factor in how that relationship evolved. She’s moved to another city, been through the marriage/divorce…all through it, I may be the one (according to her) that’s made the best effort to be supportive and keep in touch…love her for that.

 

Non-politics now…Steve…love that area where you live, that part of southern Colorado is awesome. We’re driving up in a couple weeks for Bryan Ferry’s show in Denver. To make it a really nice weekend getaway we’re doing the dinner train from Canon City the night before (done it before, and it’s a very special to us…it was on one of those trains that I proposed to the future Mrs about 10 years ago.

Welcome! I too live among family who are well to my left, and am familiar with the trials and heartbreak that experience can entail. Your touching story about your stepdaughter added another stone of weight to my conviction that with time and patience, the truth eventually reveals itself, usually more in our actions than in our words. We can only hope that peoples’ eyes will be open enough to see.

Glad to have you here with us! I hope you’ll find the ragtag flock of miscreants that Bill, Steve, and Scott have gathered together to be as welcoming an extended family as I have.
