Proud of Joe for his work at his job at the U of U.
Happy that Lisa & family are skiing, and not going to church.
Glad that George finally confronted his brother about his living & health situation, and that he's making progress on finding another better living situation.
Sorry that I am STILL waiting for David's call. He texted (on Thursday 20180222):
Update from Michael just now. Thatcher has sent out the pre advice to the Zurich guys at the International Chamber of Commerce. That should mean first money from London by Tuesday of next week. Legal issues from Toronto should be done by then too. So Tuesday is our new Target day. Wow. Maybe it will happen.
That means I should hear from him on Tuesday, 20180227. We'll see.
MEANWHILE, I'm watching a string of gay-themed movies on Hulu. The current one is called "The Circle," a 2014 film which takes place in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1956. Early in this film, a man reads something from a book on his desk, wtteo:
"Everything I try to do fails because I'm gay." Wow! I thought this was the case for decades of my life. But eventually I separated myself from a pseudo-heterosexual marriage, and from Mormonism, and I have since struggled to rid myself of the above notion.
MANY things I do succeed. But I'm still prone to lapse back to the thoughts of my earlier life, when I did, in fact, believe that I was "no good" due to my giving in to homosexual urges. The idea fits in nicely with Mormonism, and with our general society of 1955 - 1985, when I was closeted, and when I believed that I COULD, in fact, make myself into a straight man.
Hearing someone say "Everything I try to do fails because I'm gay" is still a powerful ___________ (thought? idea? mantre? tape?..........) for me.
