I was talking with a friend last night, who used to work at a TV station. Somehow we got on the subject of TV meteorologists, and how they fairly frequently tend to be gay.

I went to a social thing Friday night, and one of the guys there mentioned about Drenched Fur coming up next weekend, and asked if I thought if we was an Otter or Wolf.

This happened around midnight. What sounded to be a young woman led in with “Are you guys right off the thruway?” I was sort of puzzled and figured that she was asking about Erie Gay News, and explained that although we weren’t far from . . . → Read More: An odd phone call I had a hair appointment this morning and afterward, since I was on that side of town, I decided to go out to visit my friend John at the nursing home he is at.
