Dinner out
1 JulJesse and I went out to dinner tonight. It was my first time out since B’s passing. We went to a group dinner with some folks in the Montrose area. It went well, but I unfortunately surprised a friend who didn’t know.
She and her husband had somehow missed my coming out. He got up and left almost immediately. It was a large group, so I have no idea if that was because of me. She was friendly and accepting.
Otherwise, dinner was pleasant and friendly. It was nice to be out of my hermitage for a change.
More about coming out
23 JunAt dinner Monday night, I came out to two more of my younger friends. I was at dinner after the memorial service for Barbara, and I, Shannon, and Charles were the last three to leave the restaurant. We stayed until well after it closed, and talked until well after 11pm.
As we were leaving, I told them about Janet. They recognized my photo from Facebook, and apparently had not connected the photo to my male persona, Ernie. I think that’s a good thing. It means that I really do look different as Janet than I do as Ernie. So long as I am closeted, that’s good.
