Stanley!

You really know how to shoot straight (no pun intended...really!) when comes to the serious side of touchy issues. Like your song a lot. I could tell you a great story about a good freind of mine and Helen's who lives in the Tulsa, OK area. He is well-known at a major Hollywood studio for his computer graphics in some well-known movies. He is legally married and his wife is a very popular novelist. He is exclusively gay and she goes both ways. Their marriage is a cover-up for professional reasons, plus tax reasons...but mostly professional. In more than 15 years of marriage, they have never been mutually intimate. He probably would not care if the whole world knew. But, her readership is extensive, having sold over ten million books. Because they fear what it could do to her writing career, they keep it secret from all but their closest friends. She writes under a Pen Name. But, I would not be comfortable putting her real name out in the event someone knew.

Have to go along with TINK about your tag...it is incredibly powerful! But, just in general, it usually is a very smart thing to go along with the lovely and talented TINK...don'tcha think? After having read through it 3 times, don't really find anything to nit. Good job! Happy New Year, my friend.

PS: Just a secondary thought...after 23 years in the Army, my body has probably been seen nude by more men than women! For those of you who have not been in the military, the showers do not have stalls...they're community showers...8 - 12 shower heads in a huge open area. At least that's how it was when I was in. I retired in 1988, do could be different now.
