October and Meme from Dr. Spo.

So I did end up quitting the gay men’s chorus, after only being in for a few weeks.  It was just TOO MUCH to go to those three-hour-long rehearsals every Monday after work, and my sweet, aging dog didn’t much appreciate it either.

He is getting so blind and deaf.  Pains me so. I love him.

Anyhoo, I’m very happy about my decision!  I had no passion for singing with the group and it’s a large commitment.  Now I can focus again on my writing projects (they are legion).

Still seeing someone possibly special.  We’re getting along nicely.  Went to see a couple of movies over the weekend (Mr. Moore’s new movie about Capitalism and ZOMBIELAND – both very good!)

I am thinking about moving to Austin, Texas.

Everything is good!  I copied this meme off the ever-enjoyable Spo Reflections site.   Here goes:
