Happy coming out day, exercising (body and stock options), editing, a haircut, and laundry…

Today is my 14-year anniversary of living my life as whom I really am. As I’ve said to myself so many times since then, “Thank &deity I didn’t live my entire life here as somebody I wasn’t.” Kevin (av8rdude) and I worked out this morning. It was an all-cardio day for me, and I listened … Read more
