A Week of No Posting

[kybearfuzz]

Last week I was in the Washington, DC area. I apologize for not contacting any of the DC locals for dinner, but my short week there kept me and my cohorts pretty busy. The no posting was a part of that. The days went quick and the evenings were essentially pre-planned in the group. As always, I'll be back.

• My softball team did well in last week's tournament while I was out. I have no idea if we have a game tomorrow night or if the season is over.
  
  
• I had the freakiest of dreams over the weekend. I didn't jot them down so I only remember bits and pieces. I'll try to write them up later.
  
  
• All 24 pages of issue #8 of "Grizzly and the Bear Patrol" are drawn. So far, I've inked the first five pages. It'll likely be online by September or so.
  
  
• I've been thinking about writing my college roommate lately. From what I've heard through the grapevine, he's not terribly happy to find out his roomie of two years is gay, but a part of me wants to get it off my chest. Not sure if a lengthy explanation would do either of us any good. I've not seen or talked to him in seven years, but a part of me would like to try to reconnect, or at least say I tried. This is fueled by him being IN one of my weekend weird dreams.
  
  
• It's good to be home.

If he has become a born again Christian, I would be very careful with any written contact. Mostly because, if you want to preserve any relationship with him, almost anything you write is likely to escalate if not handled carefully.

I had really fond memories of college, and came out right after I graduated. I had some conservative friends that found out later on, and a few of them were a bit upset they never knew. It was my understanding they got over it after a few months, and when I eventually got into contact with them a few years after that my sexual preferences were mostly ignored. It was fine.

I don't think it is necessarily a bad idea you want to write him, but if you do want to contact him it might make more sense for a letter to just ask him how he's doing, rather than bring up the "hey, I heard you found out I was gay!" See how that goes, first. Just my two cents.
