I find myself so excited that my friend Dee has offered to take me on the town in Vegas. Still over a month away, but I have never felt more hopeful. Dee has known me for thirty years. I was once her boss. We talked kids, had pot lucks, made a lot of sexual innuendo. And  she never had a clue, until last week.
I'm scared as hell at my coming out. I've kept the secret since childhood. I appreciate having a forum like this. I've learned more about myself in the last week by reading your thoughts, and comments than I knew over the last 30 years.
I am not unique and that gives me great relief. I am not gay, I do not want a gentleman admirer. I like to have conversations about something other than Guns, Cars and Sports.  I like to discuss the kids and your new choice of nail polish. How to cook a pot roast, your feelings on being paid less than men.  I just want to be free to be me and enjoy women in their own environment.
I have always tended to gravitate to the ladies because they were always so much more interesting. They tend to talk real life. Men not so much.
So Dee and Me are going to be girlfriends instead of just friends. I look so forward to that.
