Finally getting serious about this whole gay thing. Good on ya.

I'm moving to Santa Clara, California . . . .
I have been seeing someone long distance for more than eight months. His name is Neal, he's a successful business owner, has wonderful friends, and is fifty-four years old. And . . . . we are in love with one another.
We have been together in-person twice; first time out here in eastern Iowa, and second time very recently, when I flew out for several days to Santa Clara/San Jose. When he was out here in eastern Iowa, some of my family and friends met him, and they all support us being together.
I plan to drive cross-country in mid-October to move out to Santa Clara, where Neal lives. I'm hoping the Rockies won't have any snow or ice during my trip. I plan to stay overnight at Cheyenne, Wyoming and then at Salt Lake City, Utah.
I am very much excited about this change in my life.
This is where an awesome Mark Twain quote would be, but Apolyton says it would be too many lines. :(

Where did I say anything in my OP that I'm gay?![]()

There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.


I'm impressed with your detective work, BC.![]()

No problem. I'm way more curious about Al's answer![]()
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Isn't he old enough to be your dad?
Just an observation.

Yeah, he is; I'm thirty-four. So?

He's saying you have daddy issues.

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

Well duh. Asher figured that out about me, some time ago.![]()

Good luck, MrFun.
And yeah, I totally nailed it with my daddy issue diagnosis.
I've also nailed BK and Alby with my comments about them. Good on you for embracing it. You're farther in life and happier than either of them because of it.

Does this mean the midwest will get rain again while California experiences a drought?![]()
I'm happy for you, MrFun, and wish you all the best.

Many hearty congratulations, from a fellow admirer of older men (Sean Connery barechested in 'You Only Live Twice' my first inkling of being a big gay homo...).
Of course if you're moving to California it's just another nail in its coffin as far as Jerry Falwell's concerned.

If social security were private, it would be prosecuted as a Ponzi scheme.

I'd rather get a community college teaching job, but with California's higher unemployment rate . . . . .
But then, Neal said that private colleges are not hurting like the public colleges are. I can settle for a boring, low paying job out there to cover my bills and whatever expenses I can afford to help pay for until I find gainful, meaningful employment.

Looking at a map, Laramie is right next to Cheyenne. I think Sloww's probably right on this one.![]()
