Family and friends have been inviting me to move back to the Midwest for years, especially these last two years. Other friends asked why I left the Deep South and if I would consider moving back. Gratifying as it is, I've told them the reasons why I remain on the East Coast. They have nothing to do with being me being gay and them being straight. When I went to (Catholic) mass today the priest was shocked to hear we're planning to leave the DC suburbs to return to New England. I told him it's because the goddamned pumpkin was elected (he snickered) and my health. The man knows I'm gay as a goose. Everyone does. The good news is that I get to enjoy the diversity of life as mentioned in my blog Safe https://medium.com/@markjjanssen/saf-71651d5bed2b

Whatever else may come.
