Ah heat! Saturday night I noticed that, though the heat was on (I could hear the water moving through the pipes) it was getting colder. I felt the radiators and pipes. Cold. Great! The heat couldn’t break right before a warm spell. It had to break right after.
Then Sunday, after church, I had to go [...]

I am taking a break from maintaining this blog. No new posts will appear until April.
Paranoia

Feeling kinda nervous and paranoid. I’ve agreed to go to a near by town (150 mi) on Sunday to meet a fellow boylover. – The mouse is back — I’ve been speaking to him irregularly for a few months, and I’m 98% certain he’s genuine. He’s been living abroad teaching English, but is back in [...]
blah

I have the worst case of lazy at the moment. I just don’t want to do anything.
Too thin

The letter was thin. Too thin. I knew right away what that meant. The mentoring agency has rejected my application. I’m…I really don’t know what I am. What I feel. I’m not surprised, but only because I just couldn’t believe that something so great could happen to me. And it didn’t. I’m not distraught, or [...]
VERMIN!

I have a mouse. Damn it! Two and a half years with no pests but I got lazy. I can take some small comfort from the fact that the one piece of food I saw the mouse taking was something I never bought, meaning it has been there since before I moved in. (Spiral pasta) [...]
High hopes, low expectations

I had high hopes and low expectations for that concert. My expectations won. In honesty, the boys have potential. Comparing them against other American boy choirs, they are not too far below acceptable. (I find it sad, the difference in skill between the average American and English boy choir.) However the men sang no better [...]
Shorty Shamrock

Today at The Citadel, Shorty Shamrock sang the solo in SS Wesley’s “Lead me, Lord.” He has a great voice. Of course I chickened out after the service and didn’t tell him what a great job he did. It wasn’t high, (maybe d’ to a’) and he never used head voice, but he had wonderful [...]
Lost in my own life…

What do I want? It’s a harder question to answer than it seems, even without bringing up the “unknowable longing.” I love music, especially baroque, sacred and choral. I love boys; their company, voices, image. What the heck am I going to do with my life? I’m tired of not knowing where I’m going. I [...]
