walkin', after midnight, in the moonlight

Isn't that Patsy Cline song so lovely?
It was her first single, but that almost didn't happen.
She hadn't liked the song.
The tv audience did, though, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Life can surprise you, for sure.
For instance, I had not expected to be walking in Forsyth Park in the dark, but here I was!
That's because he and I had tired of sitting and needed to stretch our legs while he finished his story.
"He" being the Eagle Scout, Scott.
I had told him that he was the only name on my dance card tonight, as it's been a while since we shared time and space.
We were again at Betty Bombers, as we had been then, and, when I'd asked about his trip to Atlantic City, he'd said it was a long story...
and it certainly was!
Quite entertaining tale of his clever deceit toward a conniving ex-girlfriend - what a hoot!


I'm so glad he and I were finally able to spend a few hours together!
We've known each other since the early 1990's - 1993? 1994? - and we always have a good time joking around.
I'm so glad he's back in Savannah again!
Yes, we both stay busy, but it was so good to be able to just hang out tonight, with no particular place to go, no particular event to attend...
just to be.
i thank You, God.

fb flashback from Feb. 10, 2019:
"For all fans of PFLAG, I highly recommend the latest film at the Royal in Pooler. "Ek Ladki Ko Delha Toh Aisa Laga" is a beautifully filmed story - and absolutely family-friendly - on the topic of how families and friends react when the Truth (as Lady Chablis would have said) is shared. No nudity, no making-out sessions - hugging is as far as any action goes. Highly recommended.
Asbury Memorial Reconciling, this is an excellent film for a night out.
Joe Guy, I don't know if anyone in the ATL is screening it, but I hope you'll be able to find it.
Jim Reed, I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to write about this in your DO column."

Faustina Smith i would be happy to publicize their unusual screenings, but in all honesty, after reaching out several times over the more than half-decade that I have been writing my column (and receiving no response), I can only assume the management of that multiplex is not interested in the free advertising they could receive from me by simply giving me reliable, regular advance notice of their engagements in time for me to meet my deadlines.
Glad you were able to catch and enjoy the film!

I first joined them while stationed in San Diego, back in 1983. Savannah doesn't have a chapter, but they do have the First City Network, which is akin, but is primarily for LGBTQ+. PFLAG National is open to all, but was begun in the 1970's as support for Parents and Friends of Lesbians And Gays.
