Quarterly Update

Today was Mrs. Chaffee’s 101st birthday. Happy Birthday, Violet Adele Chaffee! I hope you are with your husband and son in Heaven. Hopefully, I’ll see you there someday.

There’s really not a lot to say, I guess. My Mikey is down for a nap again. I just got back from the store. Had to get some sleeping pills….generic version of Unisom. I also got some Lite Eggnog, coffee creamer, soy milk, and bread. I didn’t really need any of the rest of that except bread….the other things were there, cheap, and I figured, “Hey, why not?” So I got them.

Methinks My Mikey is afraid of the attention I pay to other gay males’ diaries on here and OpenDiary. I don’t know if he’s afraid I like them too much or what. It’s not that. I don’t know how to explain what it IS, but it’s not that. I just like reading about people, and I happen to have more of an interest in reading other gay men’s writings. For the most part, what I read is not provocative. I am not after that. I just want to read the day-to-days, you know?

On Open Diary, one of my faves said something that upset me. It was about why he never cheated on his boyfriend. Now, I have to give him credit….he DID say that it would have been a mistake, but what upset me is that he said that worse than that, what if he’d been responding to what he THOUGHT was flirting and it wasn’t. He’d be so embarrassed. Oh, poor thing! Nothing worse than being exposed as a cheater when you try to be one, is there? That just rubbed me the wrong way. I don’t care for this attitude a lot of gay guys in my generation seem to have….”It’s all about me!” No, my dears, it is NOT all about you. If you are seriously in love with someone, and you plan on longterm, then it should be about “us”, not about “me”. Whatever happened to the concept of loyalty?!!!!

Anyway…..we journey on throughout tonight. It’s close to 8pm, and I have no idea what I’m going to do until My Mikey wakes up. I was HOPING to fill the time writing, but that looks unlikely. Maybe I’ll work on some music. Maybe I can let Thelma work on her book. I don’t know. A movie sounds like a definite possibility. Guess I’ll just wing it as it happens!

My Key, My Mikey, I love you forever times PI cubed plus one,

Your Jack
