Comletely off topic.. but I have to share this and I don't think I want to post it on my blog.
You remember that state senator in Minnesota that came out in late March? I wrote him a letter today - it was a Tom special. 4 pages, 2000 words.. meticulously crafted. I discussed marriage rights, party affiliation, the log cabin republicans, all sorts of stuff.. Even invited him to dinner if he's ever in Dallas..
I was not expecting a response right away, but it was only like 20 minutes later that I got one. I was surprised how fast that was, but I'm somewhat anxious as I click to open it, since I rarely, if ever, write to politicians.
He wants to call me.. which I think is rather odd. Is it just me, or is that strange? I dunno..
My cousin, who is a state Senator in Ohio, prefers the phone too. Nothing too strange about that. I think politicians are inherently prone to running their mouths :-)
Go for it. You never know what may transpire. Other than bad phone sex (he might sound like Kermit the Frog) what's the risk?
I just got off the phone with the Senator from MN. He called right on cue. I think we chatted for about an hour.
In my letter, I had urged him to consider switching parties, but he made a very good argument for staying. I hadn't considered some of what he was saying before, and it does make sense.
He did express that his coming out has been a very positive experience, and had only minor grumblings from the BSC's. I knew it would work out. It always does.
The call had a surreal quality to it though. Toward the end he said "See, you started off nervous and now we're talking like we've been best friends for 20 years".
Please don't ask for details unless you - really - want to know.. I have a tendency to be brutally honest.. LOL
Okay.. no.. he didn't sound like Kermit.. but he did ask me if I could detect an accent, and wondered if what he sounded like matched my impression of the pictures I've seen of him.
Like I said.. it was surreal.. I think I'm engaged or something.. LOL

I said "That's because you're a politician Paul".
He laughed..
LOL that's great! But did he sound like Kermit?
