I am here for Friends

I'm gay. I have my AARP card. I'm paunchy, hairy, and wear glasses, so I guess that makes me a middle-aged near-sighted bear. I live in rural Pennsylvania with my partner of 10 years and work the overnight shift at a world-class alcohol & drug rehab. I have a caustic sense of humor and a streak of sarcasm that just won't quit.
I spend a lot of time working on my 100 year old Addams Family-style Victorian house. I rake leaves. I chase snakes out of our fish pond. Contrary to rumor, I DO NOT have a herd of wildebeest in my back yard. Oh, and for what it's worth, I also am a published science fiction novelist.

My Interests

Cowboy boots, motorcycle boots, work boots, military boots (did I mention boots?), leather, fetish, recovery, sobriety, the 12 steps, ex Jehovah's Witnesses, making sarcastic comments on JustUsBoys.com, working on my website , writing science fiction, being a pest.

Visit booted guys

I'd like to meet:

I'm a curious creature with an eclectic circle of friends. If you're thinking about sending me a friend request, please do! Everyone has a story to tell, and I want to read yours!
I'm especially interested in meeting other gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender former Jehovah's Witnesses from around the world (straight ones, too!). I'm very involved with A Common Bond and have over two thousand GLBT former (and active) Jehovah's Witnesses on my private mailing list.
Hear my story in my own words as presented at the A Common Bond International Conference in Chicago:
I've been clean & sober since 1987 and I'm always interested in hearing from other people in 12-step recovery.
If you wear boots, we have a lot to talk about. I have 18 pair of boots and my collection is growing. There's something about a guy in boots that does amazing things to me.
Any other human beings (or extraterrestrials) are welcome to introduce themselves to me as well.
Oh, and if you're a JUBber, call me Rational Lunacy.
About the only people I do NOT want to hear from are as follows:
(1)Active Jehovah's Witnesses who send me "nastygrams" about escaping your faith, telling me I'm gonna die at Armageddon, etc. -- Save your breath.
(2)Homophobes. Save your breath.
(3)Not people, but spambots who look like escapees from the Jerry Springer Show, and who insist on bombarding me with friend requests so they can advertise their webcams and other sleazy garbage.
Go ahead....send me that friend request. You know you want to! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
