“Last year my best friend moved to Nashville from Michigan. She ended up meeting a man a few months ago and recently announced she’s engaged. We were very happy and excited for her up until this week.
Allow me to backtrack slightly. I’m in my 40′s as is my friend. Though she is a lady, I’m a guy. We’ve been best friends for years to the point where she’s closer than my own sister. She was best person at my wedding and her kids (boy and girl both teens) were ushers. She and my wife are extremely close friends. We’ve watched her kids grow up (their dad is not in the picture), have babysat the kids on a multitude of occasions when my friend had to go out of town on business.


What if all paths actually led up the mountain no matter what choices you made, what your attitude was like, how much money you made or lost, how many times you were married, if you got sick or devoted your life to a cause? No matter which way you turned, a hundred or a thousand times, it all led to the same place?

As a reminder to our reader’s. somewhere in my past I once performed as a drag king. Helped along by a friend’s training in theatrical make-up, sporting a full beard, mustache, cowboy hat, I performed as Midnight Cowboy for a period of 3-5 yrs. I had the privilege of performing with some of the best female impersonator’s, culminating with my performance at Atlanta’s Premier Cabaret club, Illusions in the mid 80’s.
