Whiskey, sweet vermouth, bitters, and a cherry.

Can’t wait to see the mug shot…

I make no apologies for that.

Carry on...

Enjoying a Prince Edward; whiskey, Lillet Blanc, and Drambui. Yummy!

I remember that he carried everything, everything, in the breast pocket of his shirt (invariably a short-sleeve white button-up, like NASA Mission Control). Glasses, garage-door opener, about a thousand pens, etc. He even used a pocket protector, poor guy. When I was a kid, I thought it had something to do with being old.

As I was leaving the house, I found myself slapping my jacket pockets to make sure I had everything; reading glasses, phone, pen, COVID mask, etc. Then I realized I seem to be turning into my grandfather.

That's as far as I'm taking the comparison, though. I ain't drinking that crappy Texas beer he liked...

I was a shy, awkward, straight, cisgender kid serving as a tanker in the U.S. Army at the height of the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' madness. While I fell firmly on the side of LGBTQ people being able to serve openly in the military, I was all alone on that one with my fellow soldiers. When the subject came up, their retort was always "How would you like to have to shower next to one of them?"

Long story short: My appreciation for "The Rocky Horror Picture Show' introduced me to the LGBTQ community in Louisville, Kentucky, not far from my post at Fort Knox. My new friends seemed a little bowled over that there were any LGBTQ-friendly people in the Army. But they accepted me into their community, and I felt a lot more valued and appreciated with them than I ever did in that den of toxic masculinity at Knox. I think I was their pet gay-friendly soldier, and I'm still in touch with many of them to this day.
