Will be in Tucson for Thanksgiving and did a stint at the U of A for graduate school as well. Regular reader, first time poster. If in tucson, let me know - will definitely need a drink to escape the family for a few hours!
Hey Kenneth Happy Thanksgiving. I love your blog and read it every day. Well, even though I am in England (where Thanksgiving is not a holiday) I have a lot to give thanks for today as I finally came out to my Mum - aged 41 (me, not her!) I have been meaning to tell her for years but there was always a good reason not to - which basically boiled down to fearing her reaction, of course. Well long story short, she said something this morning that prompted me to think "there'll never be a better time than this" so I told her - then promptly burst into floods of tears of uncontrollable sobbing for 5 whole minutes nonstop (me not her!) It was like all my pent up emotions over the years just came out and I couldn't control it. She could not have reacted better - she put her arms round me, gave me a big hug and said she loved me and just wanted me to be happy. I already feel a different (better) person who no longer has to lie. Anyway, happy Thanksgiving to you all on the other side of the pond. X Will
