No Way! Adam Lambert is Gay!!!

-
I'm going to make an announcement - I'm straight. I'm a straight, heterosexual male. There.

Will that get me on the cover of Rolling Stone?

The whole gay issue means little to me - get married, don't get married, stay in the closet, come out of the closet, lock the closet door - I could care less.

So why then if we are all created equal is it such big news to announce that you're gay?

Adam Lambert is gay, you say?

Duh. Who didn't guess that? Weren't there photos of him on the Internet making out with other men. Shouldn't that have tipped you off?

Be gay - I don't care. I can't see it, but as Seinfeld said - Not that there is anything wrong with it.

Who knows if there is something wrong with it - I certainly don't qualify as a lifestyle judge, but I don't need to know either that you are completely happy with your life choice, or that you feel discriminated against, or how tough it was to tell your parents.

In this day and age it appears to be a free-for-all. Gay announcements were big news when Rock Hudson got sick - we are a more open society now, right?

Right or wrong - who cares? Just stay out of my face with it.

I remember when you had to be a rock star to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. Now all you have to do is finish second in a Karaoke contest and have a lover of the same sex.

As my mother often says - "For crying out loud."

My Buddy, Dave

Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I be...

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C...

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!
