My current (03 Nov 06) Personal Statement says I'm "partly out". I was almost fully out before I moved to Hawaii. I felt no hurry to come out again after I moved here, so I dragged my feet. Gay Authors has me reconsidering. This blog for instance. I've restricted it to members. While there's no particular reason for a guest to read it, I do regret forcing members to log in before reading. Also, because I'm not comfortable telling all of my new neighbors about my blog, I can't always ask a neighbor's permission to appear in my blog. To keep things simple, I'll avoid naming names altogether, making perhaps for a fuzzy blog entry. I really should come fully out again. That could be interesting around here. Meanwhile, my blog's subtitle fits. Truth be told, I feel fortunate to be able to choose a comfortably boring life, an option closed to many.

OK, on to the question at hand, "Why knotme?" First, I'm not this guy. My choice started with my avatar. I wanted an original, but with no sketching skills, I drifted toward computer graphics. The turning, twisting rope represents a plot line. My current knotted torus represents an above-average TV sitcom: a few turns, a few twists, and back to the starting point for next week. A plot that actually goes somewhere will require a little more skill of me. The colors on the rope nominally show degree of twist--blue for none, red for lots--but they are really an excuse for rainbow colors.

Once I fixed my avatar, the search for a text handle quickly turned silly.
