Years ago before having kids and getting married, this night
would have been a packed school reunion down at Gunther’s Tap Room on Main
Street. I should check if the Scofflaws
are playing there this weekend. Tomorrow
is Thanksgiving, there are reports that the winds will be too strong and there
won’t be any floats in the Macy’s parade.
We used to bring the kids to that event when all of us were
younger. I recall one year, looking up
at the building we were next to and seeing Jerry Seinfeld in his apartment
looking down on all of us and the parade.
We froze. Mr. Seinfeld was
standing in his roomy apartment and enjoyed the comforts of home. Tomorrow will be different for another
reason; I don’t think any of the kids will be visiting this family. Some are planning to run a 5 K Turkey
Trot. I have not run a Turkey Trot for
years and just maybe I’ll head out and get in a run tomorrow. Not a race, but a run. I want to sleep in and rest since the days
have been long. I arrived back here at
1:30 Monday morning, slept four hours and was back to work. And talking about work, it has been very
busy. The crush before the holiday. There is the emotional release, of trying to
be honest with the life I am leading.
Take a stand, have courage and fuck fear in plain English. For too long I have been frightened of what
others may think of me. Too bad. This is it.
Be bold and be proud. Meli said
it was like a gay person coming out of the closet, and I can see the similarities,
I can feel the freedom and shaking off the shame. There is no need for shame as long as I
creating a better life for myself and others.
I am happier and there is no shame in being happy.
Thank you for reading this.
