I leave this morning for a road trip to Iowa to check on my father. Except in the winter, I always enjoy the drive with the beautiful scenery. My route cuts through the Appalachian Mountains of North Georgia and Tennessee, and the rolling hills and prairie of Missouri and Iowa. It's such a change from Atlanta scenery. Plus, I get to listen to music or practice a foreign language during the drive.
My dad lives in a small town of about 5000 people. It's a whole different world. People seem to have more time there, and you can't go anywhere without bumping into a friend or acquaintance. Even people who don't know you are friendly. Except for the winter weather, it's a great place. I didn't see it that way growing up there; isn't it strange how time changes your perspective?
About Me
- Gay, Married, with Cat
- I like learning, travel, museums, history, meeting new people, and laughing. I also seem to do the home improvement projects. I'm gay, and in a long term, committed relationship. I still like to admire cute, sexy guys. LOL. Somehow, I've gotten to be middle-aged although I still feel like I'm in my twenties. I believe in karma. Both my life partner and I love animals; in February of 2008, we adopted a cat from the local animal shelter. She now runs our household. The blog "Gay, Married, with Cat" is a journal of my thoughts and of everyday life.

Yes, we just moved back to closer to where I grew up. I hated growing up here, but now that I have kids... back we come!
