This will be an evening of food, fun. games and a movie. We’ll have the grill or the fire open pit going. Bring whatever you want grilled or on a stick, like roasted wieners and toasted buns, and condiments will be available. (I told you the story about my best friend,Mark, and his late partner, Chuck. I think they were at the state fair when Chuck was upset that he didn’t have enough mustard for his hot dog. And Mark offered, loudly and in front of everybody, that Chuck could roll his wiener in his buns! Chuck was aghast.) Bring sides and desserts to share. Come in costume if you like, the scariest costume gets to answer the door and scare the children. And bring Halloween snacks and treats to share or pass out.

World AIDS Day, Equalize
2022-12-01
I was looking at Blueboy magazine, November ’81, a bingo prize, and came across two articles, KAPOSIS’S SARCOMMA and GAY PNEUMONIA. The articles were about the AIDS epidemic that just began surfacing in July of that year. Oh, how I remember when we were so young, so good looking, so innocent, and so susceptible! It’s hard to imagine that was forty one years ago! Look how far we have come, and look at how many we have lost. Never Again!!! Get tested, stay safe.
