Drama!

Just as things begin to settle down in my life….and my only problem is wondering if I will have a full-fledged, fulltime boyfriend, another drama unfolds that make all these little things in my life pale in comparison.

I received a panicky telephone call from a gay friend of mine yesterday. He’s married and has a grown daughter who is a newlywed.

Yesterday morning, before dawn, the newlyweds were awakened by law enforcement banging on their front door. They seized the husband’s computer because of suspicion of dealing with child porn! They also did a search of his home office.

It left husband and wife badly shaken.

My friend is very upset.

Supposedly this all stems from a job that the husband had applied for about six months ago. During a polygraph examination, he was asked if he had ever viewed child porn, and he answered that he had while in college…3 or 4 years ago. Now, six months later, law enforcement seize his home computer?

Something is not adding up.

Regardless, if this happens to be the computer he viewed that stuff on in college (and it is his college machine), and the forensics people find those images on his hard drive, me thinks he’s toast!

I have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that there is more to this story. We should know something in a week to 10 days.

This couple is also expecting their first child in February.

This is scary stuff.

Meanwhile, back at my house, things are still peaceful. I guess I feel a little bit guilty since I don’t have much to whine about this morning.

I’m going to be quite busy this weekend. My gay married men’s group is coming over for the monthly “Movie/Pizza Night” on Friday night. Then, on Saturday night, a group of my men friends from church is meeting for dinner at a nearby restaurant, and then coming back to my house for some board games. Sunday is church, and I get to serve communion followed by lunch with another group of pals from church.

I really am blessed to have all these people in my life. I have a tremendous love for them all. I enjoy being with them.

All of these outlets are helping me to get back onto my feet. I’m developing close, affectionate and healthy friendships with other men.

It’s great to feel a part of a warm and loving group!
