They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Apparently, a picture can elicit phone calls & emails to my mom and sisters...

A HighSchool friend was visiting for the weekend and we took a day trip to Santa Barbara. This picture is of the two of us...on the beach...on Valentine's Day.

I was pretty sure everyone knew I was gay, but I guess this confused a few relatives or perhaps gave some of them hope that I switched teams again .

I can imagine my mom wistfully pondering what it would have been like if my friend was their daughter-in-law (we had gone to prom together back in H/S), what the pontential grandchildren might have looked like.

Kinda nice to know that I can pull off straight acting/straight appearing .

P.S. - It was sunny and 79 in Santa Barbara. Nice ocean breeze...*sigh*
